To date, Honda is known as a manufacturer of cars and motorcycles from Japan, but few people know that the scope of the company is much wider, since Honda is also engaged in the production of trucks, power generators, aircraft and many other products. At the same time, it should be noted that very an important factor in the development of this company is the development of technologies that are focused on the needs of car buyers, while not forgetting about the safety of both the driver and passengers.
The first Honda cars appeared on the automotive market back in 1960, it is worth saying that these models had a sporty style and had small dimensions, as, in principle, Honda motorcycles, which the company produced for 12 years before the release of its first cars.
For Russian buyers Honda cars were first introduced in 91 of the last century and these models were Honda Accord And Honda Civic. After that, the representatives Japanese company we tried with all our might to ensure that as many dealer networks as possible were represented on the territory of Russia. And soon there were not only representative offices in the form of dealerships, but also one division of Honda Motors Rus, which is designed to assemble cars of this company already on site.
As for the model range, there are quite a lot of them and there is no need to list them all. Therefore, I would like to name the most popular of the representatives of this company. This is the previously mentioned Accord, and, of course, the Civic model, and Domani, Logo, Torneo, CR-V and many other models, as well as several generations of them. Because some generations different models for many years already pleases its owners.
At one time, models such as Acura and Odyssey, which even American publications, as well as other countries around the world, recognize as the most reliable cars. All this is due to the fact that the most reliable and high-quality models are used during production.
The Japanese company was founded in 1946 on the initiative of a daring engineer and race car driver Soichiro Honda from the province of Hamamatsu. Possessing the ingenuity of thinking, Soichiro often performed bold, risky deeds. Deciding not to complete his studies at school, he went to work at an auto repair shop in Tokyo, where he began fixing bicycles. Honda's talent to find simple solutions for complex technical problems inspired many of his inventions. He once built a moped by attaching a motor to his bike, and after building a dozen more for his friends, Honda got serious about making them. Thus, the company was born name Honda Technical Research Institute (translated as “Institute technical research Honda"), later renamed to Honda motor company.
Initially, Honda specialized in motorcycle construction. First Honda motorcycle Dream, equipped with a 98 cc engine, was released in 1949. At the same time, Takeo Fujisawa, who was engaged in corporate management and sales of Honda, came to the company.
By the 60s, the company had strengthened its position in the motorcycle market and began to produce cars. Despite the disapproving assessment of the Japanese government, which believed that Honda's competition with the Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi brands would harm the interests of the country, Soichiro showed his rebellious character and introduced his first car in 1963 - sports model Honda S500.
But the true glory of the company as an automaker began with release Honda Civic in 1972. Compact, inexpensive and quality cars with new CVCC (Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion) engines are gaining popular recognition. Technical Honda specifications Civic appealed to many buyers.
The oil crisis of the 70s that hit Japan caused a sharp decline in production automobile concerns but not Honda. Soichiro and this time found a non-standard way out of this situation: the production of cars was doubled, despite the fact that Honda significantly reduced its cost. Unlike Toyota or Nissan, his company's sales increased by 76 percent. In 1975, it introduced its own credit program, and a year later the now so popular Honda Accord came out.
In the 90s, the production of eco-cars started on solar panels Honda EV Plus, S2000 models and Honda CR-V SUVs. The main credo of the company was the principle of energy and resource saving. Today, Honda produces not only cars and motorcycles, but also lawn mowers, electric generators, and even android robots. The components of the success of the Japanese organization are the high reliability of machines and modern technological solutions.
Honda- international company, which tries to push the boundaries of possibilities as much as possible. Technology and R&D are Honda's main driving force. The cars of the company, located in Japan, are individual, everyone finds something of their own in them. Below is the entire the lineup companies in 2019 2020.
Among the principles of work, the management highlights the desire to create products of the highest quality according to the most affordable prices, respect for new ideas, as well as harmony at all stages of production and operation of the car.

Having embarked on the path of the auto business much later than their counterparts, who managed to start their activities even before the Second World War, Honda approached the market a little differently. It is they who own many innovations in the automotive industry, and their luxury brand Acura appeared several years earlier than Lexus and Infinity. An interesting fact is that the company's entry into the car market in the 60s was extremely disapprovingly received by the Japanese government - in their opinion, the manufacturer would compete on the world stage with companies such as Toyota and Nissan, which would ultimately harm the interests of the country. Honda ignored government attacks, eventually becoming one of the biggest names in the auto industry.
