Few other automobile companies have enjoyed the popularity that Honda has enjoyed. Honda has earned its place by constantly producing durable and reliable cars, trucks, motorcycles and many other vehicles and equipment. This has made Honda the second largest seller of automobiles in Japan. Honda also has a luxury car line under the name of Acura. This front runner started making motorcycles in 1949 and by the 1960’s had redefined the motorcycle market. Honda is now the largest producer of motorcycles in the world. As an industry leader, Honda was also the first Japanese car maker to open a manufacturing facility in the U.S. Honda now has assembly and manufacturing plants all over North America, from Ontario, Canada to Alabama and from California to South Carolina.
The company was started by Soichiro Honda, a mechanic, who developed his own design for piston rings in 1938. Mr. Honda sold his new cardesign to Toyota and went as far as to construct a new facility to supply Toyota with parts. After WWII the Honda facilities were destroyed, so he set off in a new direction by starting the Honda Research Institute Co, Ltd. in 1948. His first project was to supply the Japanese people with a cheap and reliable new mode of transportation by attaching an engine to a bicycle, hence the motor scooter.
Since then Honda has grown to include automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, ATV’s, mountain bikes, generators, marine equipment, lawnmowers, lawn equipment, water craft, robotics, jets, jet engines, and yes scooters. The company’s revenue in 2006 topped $93 billion, quite a comeback for a company that was nearly destroyed three years prior to its inception. Honda stocks are now traded on all of the world’s major markets including Tokyo, London, and New York. Honda is now the largest engine maker in the world, building more than 14 million internal combustion engines every year. Honda is a name brand synonymous with value and dependability, plus they are fun to drive, this reputation that has secured their place in the world’s automotive market.
Honda is now an industry leader again, with alternative fuels and fuel hybrid cars and cars that run on natural gas. With their sleek lines and powerful engines, Hondas are still some of the most popular cars worldwide. From the rugged durability of the Ridgeline to the sheer beauty of the S2000, Honda is not just another car maker. It is a car maker with a conscience and a finger on the pulse of society that knows how to produce what people want without sacrificing performance, style, or reliability. Honda will be ahead of the pack for years to come.
