Technology

Honda Advanced Technology is part of Honda's long-standing research and development program focused on building new models for their automotive products and automotive-related technologies, with many of the advances pertaining to engine technology. Honda's commitment to pursuit of ideas and exploration of technological challenges has led to practical solutions ranging from fuel-efficient vehicles and engines.



1.) THE i-VTEC TECHNOLOGY
i-VTEC is the acronym for intelligent VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control), an evolution of Honda's VTEC engine. The i-VTEC engine works by controlling the timing and lifting of the camshafts depending on engine speeds. The valves open a small amount during low engine speeds to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. The valves will open wider at higher engine speeds to achieve higher performance. Honda i-VTEC (intelligent-VTEC) has VTC continuously variable timing of camshaft phasing on the intake camshaft of DOHC VTEC engines.

2.) E:HEV
The e:HEV full hybrid system can intelligently switch operating modes to suit various driving situations between three modes (EV Drive Mode, Hybrid Drive Mode & Engine Drive Mode). The ability to run on individual power modes is the main benefit of a full hybrid electric system, delivering true fuel economy gains. The smooth and seamless power transitions in the e:HEV also gives a quieter, more refined, and comfortable driving and riding experience. The e:HEV is also a self-charging system.The battery can also be recharged with the help of the engine, serving as a generator to keep the electric drive system primed for action at a moment’s notice.

3.) HONDA SENSING
Honda developed “Honda SENSING”, a driver-assist system as Honda’s global safety concept, “Safety for Everyone” aims to realize a collision-free society in which not only automobile occupants and motorcycle riders, but everyone, can share the roads safely. Analysis shows that many fatal road accidents are caused by cars straying from their lanes, including those which involve pedestrians. Honda SENSING operates to detect and take action to avoid situations such as one-car accidents, collisions, pedestrian injuries, and missed road signs. Honda SENSING provides safety, while keeping driving fun.

4.) HONDA CONNECT
A mobile app that allows you remote access to your car’s features for enhanced safety, security and convenience. Honda CONNECT allows a seamless connection of users with their cars via a smartphone application for an enhanced ownership experience. The Honda CONNECT enables customers to communicate with their vehicle, check its status, and even be notified of alerts with a smartphone. By introducing this technological advancement to the market, Honda strives to enhance the quality of life as it promotes greater safety and security as well as comfort and convenience. It provides safety, security and convenience.
