Forming the crux of the revolutionary Honda Eco Technology is the trio of improved combustion, significantly reduced friction and optimized transmission in Honda engine:
Reduced friction by offset crank, significant weight reduction of reciprocating parts, low tension piston ring and improved bearing oil seal.
Improved combustion with highly ignitable nickel spark plug and optimized inlet port.
By optimizing Pulley converter ratio & driving force, the power has been maintained & mileage has been increased.Honda has created an advanced Idle Stop System(see image below) that reduces fuel consumption while totally blocking out toxic exhaust gas and unwanted noise. It enables the engine to stop automatically for 3 seconds after the vehicle stops moving. And when the throttle is opened, the vehicle engine restarts and takes off smoothly.ASIMO is a symbol of Honda's advanced technology, and a member of Honda's fourth line of mobility creations, after motorcycles, automobiles and general power products.
