Honda

Honda was founded by Soichiro Honda in Hamamatsu, Japan in 1948, starting with small motorcycles before growing into the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer. Honda entered the car business in 1963 and disrupted the global industry with its clean, fuel-efficient CVCC engine that met US emissions standards without a catalytic converter. The brand's racing DNA runs deep — Honda's Formula One engines have powered more World Championship-winning cars than any other manufacturer. Honda means reliability, efficiency and engineering innovation.
