From piston rings to vehicles as a whole—that’s how we describe the
history of the Honda Motor Company. From simple beginnings, Honda is
now known for a lot of things. For one, Honda is the undisputed leader
in the manufacture of motorcycles, a title it has held since the 1970s.
Also, Honda is among the leading auto manufacturers in Japan and is
currently the world’s largest manufacturer of engines.
Socihiro Honda, the founder of Honda Motor Company, started
out as a manufacturer of piston rings in 1937. Later, he became a
sub-contractor for Toyota and expanded his business to manufacturing
other engine parts. After the Second World War, Honda established the
Honda Technical Research Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan, which became
the Honda Motor Company, Ltd. two years later.
Honda, as a vehicle manufacturer, started out with
manufacturing scooters and motorcycles—immediate and affordable modes
of transportation for then war torn Japan. In 1959, Honda started
importing their scooters and motorcycles in the US with the opening of
the American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in Los Angeles. It was only in the
1960s when Honda started manufacturing passenger cars and the first few
bunch of cars were intended mostly for the Japanese market. It was not
until the 1970s that Honda started large-scale importation of their
cars to the US.
Today, there are a multitude of Honda vehicles that can be
found in the major thoroughfares of the US. These vehicles are widely
praised for their refinement, longevity and reliability. Among the
Honda vehicles we have in the market today are the Honda Civic, Honda
Accord, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot and the
Honda Ridgeline truck. Aside from these, there are also those Honda
vehicles that are no longer in production today but can still be seen
in our major roads because of their longevity.
A world leader in many things, Honda could not have been
successful with their vehicle ventures should they have not equipped
their vehicles with high quality and high performance Honda parts. Each
and every Honda is equipped with parts that are designed to last and
perform at their best. So each time you have to replace a part of your
Honda, you better be sure that it would match the quality of the
original Honda part.
