Helping to make the world a better place

At Honda we focus on the need to increase fuel efficiency to reduce CO2 emissions, improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, continue to expand hybrid vehicle technology, and develop new, non-fossil fuel energy sources, including the ultimate solution, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

Drive Every Drop

Building a powerful engine is one thing, but our engineers also made the Legend’s SOHC VTEC V6 smart enough to use just 11.3 litres of fuel per 100km.*

*Fuel consumption figures based on ADR81/01 test results. You may experience different results depending on driving conditions and the conditions of the vehicle.

Exterior Paint

Emissions Graph

The innovative, environmentally conscious paint layering process used for the Legend includes water polishing between coats. The primer-surfacer (PS) is hand sanded to ensure a smooth surface for better appearance. After a waterborne colour basecoat (BC) is applied, a pair of clear coats provide depth. This helps to protect the base coat from air pollution, acid rain and fog and gives a very high resistance to scratches, whilst still delivering brilliant colour and lustre.

Low-emissions Vehicle status

Although the new Legend is the most powerful production engine we have ever made, it meets EURO 4 emissions standards and is an LEV (low emission vehicle).

 

Our commitment to minimising waste

Honda has long been proactive in implementing product recycling. In 1991 we began recovering and recycling replacement bumpers and in 1998 launched the sale of remanufactured parts. In 2004 we began recovering and recycling automobile oil filters.

Honda independently implements advanced recycling measures, minimizing the raw materials used in product creation, in every stage of the life cycle of Honda products. Again and again, Honda has been first among Japan’s leading automakers to take action on recycling.

What if a plane had its engines mounted on top of the wing?

Well, it would be a world-first and it would be called the HondaJet. Secondly, the engines would have to be in a special position on the wing we call ‘The Sweet Spot’. That would then result in less drag at high speeds, 30% better fuel economy and because there is no need for structural engine mounts on the fuselage, 30% more cabin space.
