Enhancing safety on the roads is one of Honda's top priorities.
We firmly believe that the realisation of a comfortable
and an enjoyable mobile society depends on the mutual
trust that automobile manufacturers like us, share with
the consumers and society.
At Honda, we use a three prong approach, based on preventing
accidents from happening in the first place, minimizing
injury in the unlikely event of an accident and our Driving
Safety Promotion operations.
Honda's safety philosophy emphasizes the development of
appropriate technologies for its products, so as to ultimately
achieve maximum riding comfort for its customers. Honda
was the first manufacturer in Japan to develop and apply
the anti-lock brake system. Educating the world, Honda
is actively involved with driving education across the
world for promoting traffic safety.

Vehicles (Active Safety Research Vehicle and Passive Safety
Research Vehicle)
Honda's
development of Active Safety Research Vehicles began in
1991. Our aim is to help the driver predict and prevent
danger using enhanced information support, besides providing
improved visibility and puncture resistance. In the Passive
Safety Research Vehicle, we are researching areas such
as motorcycle airbags and impact absorbing helmets. We
are also working on an information communications system
to be used with both motorcycles and automobiles.
