It is our firm belief that the realization of a comfortable and enjoyable mobile society depends on the mutual trust we share with consumers and society. Not content to merely develop safety technology, Honda is actively applying its expertise in driver education to contribute to safer traffic systems. Frontal collision test Safety enhancement through basic automotive functions and advanced technology Safety enhancement is the foremost consideration in the making of Honda products.
Every effort is made to facilitate accident prevention and minimize injury in the case of accidents.
Ensuring a vehicle's basic dynamic performance acceleration, handling, and braking is one of the fundamental factors for accident prevention. The commitment to improve this performance, for example, led Honda to become the first manufacturer in Japan to develop and apply antilock brake systems to mass-produced vehicles. To minimize injury to drivers and passengers in cases of accidents, the company has been pursuing the development of effective shock-absorbing configurations through exhaustive crash tests. Furthermore, we have learned to control the force of impact, or G-force, during collisions and are developing and applying such technology to reduce potential injury to both passengers and pedestrians. For motorcycles, we have developed a two-wheel combination brake system, facilitating rider brake operation, which we have applied in our motor scooters.
