This event is the first Tokyo motor show devoted
exclusively to commercial vehicles. For Honda, it offers a wonderful
opportunity to share our unique vision of the shape of things to
come in commercial vehicles. We unveil the dynamic potential of
these automobiles and demonstrate how they will enrich society and
contribute to more comfortable lifestyles in the future.
For the main theme, we chose "Anytime, with Honda !"
This grew out of our all-embracing idea of "Small is Smart"
- a concept that continues to guide our development of versatile
commercial vehicles that contribute to all walks of life. It is
our belief that such vehicles should assist all kinds of people,
inside and outside of work, and live up to our "anytime, anywhere
and for anyone" concept.
For this show, Honda approaches the theme of "Anytime, with
Honda !" from two perspectives : "Anytime, Smart !"
and "Anytime, Fun !" Under the "Anytime, Smart !"
banner, Honda proposes essential values for future commercial vehicles. |
For the "Anytime, Fun !" perspective, we
offer a glimpse of exciting new applications for these versatile
vehicles in the 21st century. Our showcase is a multifaceted one
and we have not limited our approach to conventional commercial
vehicles. Rather, Honda introduces a dynamic panorama of the ever-expanding
mobile world where commercial vehicles, motorcycles, car and other
Honda products move towards a brighter future together.
Our world view is also colored by our desire to create cars that
assist all kinds of people. Part of this drive to contribute to
social equality is our development of care vehicles. Honda is proud
to showcase our Almas series of thoughtful special needs vehicles
at this event.
The displays at the Honda corner are representative of our holistic
approach to the future of commercial vehicles. These vehicles embody
Honda's imaginative "advanced creation" approach, a fusion
of dreams, technology and spirit. It is our wish that the unique
vision of Honda embodied in each of our displays inspires you and
expands your view of the commercial vehicle. |
Presentation stage
Honda is pleased to present our "Anytime, with Honda !"
theme in two dimensions with dynamic images. This dramatic demonstration
should not be missed !
- "Anytime, Smart !"(creating new essential values).
Commercial vehicles as solutions to 21st century issues - the
Acty series.
In today's world, the commercial vehicle must answer two main
demands. It must offer practically to support business activities
and embody safety and environmental considerations. Honda has
been at the forefront in providing solutions to safety and environmental
issues with its "G-FORCE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY" and "E-TECH"
achievements. We have actively embraced this challenge because
Honda believes its vehicles should offer something positive to
everyone. Our efforts consider the impact on both society and
the earth in addition to the needs of our customers. To demonstrate
this commitment, we are presenting crash test images. Through
these test, we solved the problem of how to offer the convenience
of a spacious bed as well as incorporate a high level of safety
/ environmental features on the same vehicle. We also show how
Honda is keeping up with the demands of the new era by maximizing
efficiency. Our proactive stance towards adopting IT systems,
can be seen in Honda's original Inter Navi System employed in
commercial vehicles.
- "Anytime, Fun !" (creating exciting new application).
Expanding commercial vehicle applications beyond business and
leisure as a vehicle that supports wide personal interests - the
mh.
Honda is renowned for being ahead of its time and creating
new values for the automobile. We now propose an original vehicle
created with unique imagination. Nothing like this has ever before
existed in the world of commercial vehicles. Honda believed that
if we could infuse an everyday work vehicle with a more playful
spirit, it would bring enjoyment into everyone's lives. The result
is a utility vehicle that is both helpful and fun. It adapts with
ease to various lifestyles, inside and outside work hours, for
business or leisure, or simply for going out. It employs unique
styling with a strong sense of individuality and fun. Its utility
and sense of freedom makes it ideal for one or four persons. In
the city or on the open road, it delivers a comfortable, relaxing
ride. It offers drivers ease of movement and comfort as a vehicle
for weekday work or weekend play. Our futuristic vehicle adapts
to various lifestyles and people of different ages, going beyond
the framework of business applications to make life more enjoyable.
Honda is proud to introduce the mh. It is imbued with the imagination
for which Honda is renowned.
