History of Honda's development
1948 On September 24th, a "DreamWorks" named Honda Research Industry Co., Ltd. was quietly born in Japan.

In the next 70 years, this "DreamWorks" will extend its industrial tentacles in all directions, involving motorcycles, automobiles, robots, jet planes, agricultural machinery and other fields.

1, 1958- Super Bear Motorcycle Time Machine

Cheap scooter is a pioneering work of Honda. Its birth greatly improved the mobility of consumers at that time, and it has been selling well all over the world for 70 years. So far, the total sales volume has exceeded 654.38 billion units.

2. 1963 ——T360: Wonderful pickup truck

The originator of Honda's four-wheeled vehicle is actually not a car, but this wonderful and compact truck with a four-cylinder engine and a displacement of only 356cc. Even the later upgraded T500 was only equipped with a 53 1cc engine, which increased its horsepower by 38 horsepower. It can be seen that the initial intention of Honda to build a car is only to meet the basic car needs of the general public.

3.S500: The first car whose speed exceeds160 km/h.

This two-seater sports car was not put into production immediately, because this model was equipped with the upgraded version 53 1cc engine of T500 from the very beginning, so Honda will wait for T360 to go on the market for four months before officially releasing S500 to surprise consumers.

From the appearance, N360 equipped with an air-cooled four-stroke engine is a household-type city commuter car, and Honda passenger car marks the world from it.

The world-famous Civic, a compact front-wheel sports car, was born in 1972. As the first model developed by Honda for the global market, Civic is known as the best model born in the era of global fuel shortage because of its excellent fuel economy and household use. In 1972, 1973 and 1974, he won the Japanese Automobile of the Year Award.

Honda's first midsize car and the second global model Accord were officially unveiled on 1975. At first, Accord offered four-door cars and three-door hatchbacks.

7. 198 1 year-electric soldering iron: navigation of automobile industry.

Car navigation, or CarPlay navigation system, is almost the standard configuration of cars now. We have long regarded it as an indispensable and well-deserved "part" of a car just like the steering wheel.

8. 1986—— Acura Legend: Japanese high-end brands once again surprised America.

1986, Honda launched a brand-new high-end brand specifically for the American market, and brought the brand's first model-Legend. Once launched, it brought surprises to American consumers and laid a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the American road after Acura. Unfortunately, in the China market, the situation has never been opened.

9. 1990 ——NSX: the first supercar in the history of the East.

NSX is like a totem, showing the world that Honda's pursuit of speed is no less than Ferrari's. As the world's first production car with an all-aluminum single body, NSX's task is not to sell many cars, but to get a sound comparable to Ferrari's.

10, 1995 ——CR-V: One of the best-selling SUVs in the world.

Once launched, it immediately swept the world, and the CR-V, which evolved into the fifth-generation model, became one of the best-selling SUVs in the world.

12,1998-s2000: a birthday present for myself.

As a gift to celebrate the 50th birthday, S2000 certainly carries a lot of weight. Its name S2000 means the engine displacement is 2.0 liters. In addition, Honda has specially developed a front rear drive chassis for it. By moving the cab backwards and lengthening the wheelbase, the engine is placed between the front and rear axles, so that the center of gravity is more concentrated and the perfect ratio of front and rear wheel loads is 50: 50.

13,2000-Asimo: A famous robot.

In fact, Honda began to develop robots in the 1980s, but it was not until 2000 that it launched one of the most famous robots in the world. When I was a child, I often saw it in the TV Festival "Japanese Painting Style".

14,2002 —— Fit: civil supercar

Except Honda, no car company in today's era really attaches so much importance to developing a small car. After three generations of evolution, Fit has become a civilian supercar in the mouth of domestic car fans.
