Make things to contribute to society with technology and clean the sea
There is Enshu Nada in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the founding of Honda Motor Kogyo (hereinafter referred to as Honda), but it seems that it is not because the land with sea breeze drifts. So I came to see the hints of the company history. Honda, founded in 1948, launched a motorcycle "Super Cub", which later became a world -class long -selling product in '58, and entered the four -wheel market in '63. Since then, he has left a strong impression of motorcycles and cars, and has created many people enthusiastic about the red -white machines swept the F1 world from the '80s to the '90s. But long before the legendary driver Ayrton Senna appeared, Honda had entered the marine market. That is the year after entering the four -wheel business. The outdoor unit was released in '64. The outdoor unit is a removable engine that is attached to a ship like a small boat, and is a device that integrates the rudder that controls the ship and the fuel tank. The project has a long history alongside the motorcycle and four wheels, and has launched a new axis when entering. Instead of the mainstream two -stroke institution, the out -of -ship units were developed and sold by four strokes. So what are the differences? Yoshihiro Kimura, who has been consistently walking in the development field since joining the company in '77, simply told me that it was a difference in environmental impact. "2 Stroke organizations burn the fuel and oil together, so the burning scum is released into the emission gas and polluts the sea. In other words, four strokes also emit exhaust gas, but fuel for fuel. The environmental load is low because the oil does not mix. Soichiro Honda, the founder, is a highly environmental conscious person, and although there was a negative element of large size and high cost, we promote the development of 4 strokes that do not pollute the environment. It was. " Kimura said that "contributing to society with high technology is Honda's policy." Indeed, technology was based on beach clean activities and the development of the “beach cleaner” development, with the thoughts on manufacturing for the world, the company's history, and the high environmental consciousness that entered the marine market early. 。
