1 Honda. Helping our environment. Ubi Showroom, 370 Ubi Road 3, Singapore Tel Mon to Sat 9am-8pm, Sun 10am-8pm. Alexandra Showroom, 255 Alexandra Road, Singapore Tel Mon to Sat 9am-8pm, Sun 10am-8pm.

2 Honda s environment statement. As a responsible member of society whose task lies in the preservation of the global environment, our company will make every effort to contribute to human health and the preservation of the global environment in each phase of its corporate activity. Only in this way will we be able to count on a successful future not only for our company, but for the entire world.

3 Green Machines. We re committed to creating greener, cleaner cars. That is one of our dreams at Honda. And this has lead us to develop some of the world s most revolutionary technologies, including advanced petrol engines, petrol-electric hybrids, hydrogen fuel-cells and to help improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO 2 emissions. At Honda we strive to reduce our environmental footprint in everything we do. Because the only mark we want to leave on the environment is beautiful blue skies.

4 Our Hybrid Technology. Civic Hybrid. Blue skies ahead. The Civic Hybrid is our Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV), slash emissions. The Hybrid has a lighter, more powerful the fuel consumption is down, with an outstanding fuel engine stay in its most efficient operating mode. powered by Honda s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system. engine and electric motor producing a combined economy of 21.74km per liter *. Civic Hybrid also boasts a And, astoundingly, the Civic Hybrid can run on IMA combines the use of a petrol engine and an electric rpm. This makes it the most powerful Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which provides electric power alone at speeds under 40 km/h, motor to boost performance, cut fuel consumption and Hybrid available. But surprisingly, while the power is up, even greater fuel economy benefits by helping the creating no emissions at all. * The fuel consumption figures quoted are tested under the EU combined cycle. You may experience different results depending on driving conditions & conditions of the vehicle.

5 The Future of Hybrids. CR-Z. On the fast lane to a greener world. The CR-Z is a lightweight hybrid sports car equipped In other words, it s a true sports car with a conscience. described as a glass artwork background. Both the interior with our original petrol-electric hybrid system. It delivers a powerful, high-level performance you d expect from any Honda sports car, and also utilises our low emission technology to reduce its impact on the environment. The CR-Z, which stands for Compact Renaissance Zero, sports an aggressive over-sized grill, LED headlights and 19-inch wheels. On the inside, a sophisticated and spacious interior features blue-neon lit gauges on what can only be and exterior have been designed to enhance the overall driving experience and to also give it a real feel of exhilaration. This means that just because the CR-Z is environmentally friendly, it doesn t make it any less of a sports car. The first ever hybrid sports car.

6 Our Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Technology. FCX Clarity. The world s first hydrogen vehicle in production. The FCX Clarity is a next-generation, hydrogen powered Based entirely on our new V Flow fuel-cell platform, the tank to power the vehicle s electric drive motor. So when regenerative braking and deceleration is stored in fuel-cell vehicle that emits only one thing, H 2 O. With FCX Clarity is powered by the highly compact, powerful, hydrogen combines with atmospheric oxygen in the the lithium ion battery pack, and used to supplement improved driving range, power, weight and efficiency, yet efficient Honda V Flow fuel-cell stack which operates as fuel-cell stack, the chemical energy from the reaction is power from the fuel-cell, when needed. And the great it boasts a low-slung, dynamic and sophisticated the vehicle s main power source. It also utilises an efficient converted into electric power, which is then used to propel news is, in 2008 the FCX Clarity will be the first ever appearance previously unachievable in a fuel cell vehicle. lithium ion battery pack and a single hydrogen storage the vehicle. Also, the additional energy captured through hydrogen vehicle in production.

7 Our i-vtec Technology. Powerful yet fuel efficient engine. Our i-vtec engine was specifically designed to deliver to its innovative new valve control timing, which regulates Honda vehicles, which is great news for the environment. to not only optimise their overall performance, but to outstanding power whenever and wherever you need it, the valve opening to match engine speed. The best part is, But as if that wasn t enough, we ve even included a 5-speed improve their fuel efficiency as well. So as you can see, it while still being remarkably fuel efficient. This is all thanks you will find an i-vtec engine in a whole range of our automatic transmission as standard on all these vehicles really isn t that difficult to start making a difference today.

8 Our Variable Cylinder Managment (VCM) Technology. Accord. Maximum power and extraordinarily high fuel efficiency. The Accord V6 comes with our revolutionary new Variable cylinders whenever circumstances require. So when you speed cruising and not-so-steep hills, the engine shifts So in other words, it can achieve extraordinarily low Cylinder Management (VCM) technology. It s so intelligent need a lot of power like during start-ups and tackling to four cylinders. And for moderate speed cruising and emissions and high fuel efficiency while still giving it can switch effortlessly between six, four and even three steep hills, all six cylinders fire into gear. But for higher at low engine loads, only three cylinders are needed. you maximum power.

9 Green Factories. It s one thing to create products that have the lowest CO 2 emissions. But to produce these products at manufacturing plants that also have the lowest CO 2 emissions is also one of our dreams. So we ve set ourselves new global CO 2 reduction targets for our products and production activities in order to make sure we meet our future goal. Global CO 2 reduction target for Another bright idea. Product CO 2 reduction targets Global average of CO 2 emitted by all Honda products Product CO 2 reduction targets Global average of per-unit CO 2 emitted during production Automobiles Motorcycles Power Products 10% (per g/km) 10% (per g/km) 10% (per g/km) 10% (per g/km) 20% (per g/km) 20% (per g/km) As a company we realise that there s more to reducing the threat of global warming than just reducing CO 2 emissions, that is why we are also focused on developing energy-creating products such as our next-generation solar cells. Our solar cells consume approximately 50% less energy, than conventional crystal silicon solar cells, during manufacturing. Instead of silicon, we use a thin film made from a compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS). This makes our solar cells more environmentally responsible even during the production stage. Honda Soltec, our wholly-owned solar cell subsidiary, is now mass producing our solar cells for homes throughout Japan with further plans to start exporting in the future.
