With 12 vehicles at least 30mpg, Honda is the greenest automobile manufacturer in the world. Honda Named "Greenest Automaker" by Union of Concerned Scientists America's Most Fuel Efficient Car Company Earns Fourth Consecutive Title Honda, the most fuel-efficient car company in America1, has earned the title of America's "2007 Greenest Automaker" from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) for the fourth consecutive time. The award is given by the UCS on a biennial basis to the company with the lowest overall production of smog-forming emissions and global warming emissions (primarily CO2) in its U.S. automobile fleet.
"Honda remains the greenest U.S. automaker. The company installs clean technology across its entire fleet of cars and trucks and that consistency makes it a top environmental performer. Honda is one of only two automakers to have better-than-average global warming scores in every class of vehicles it sold in MY2005," said Don MacKenzie, a vehicles engineer with the Union of Concerned Scientists. "In addition, Honda continues to have the best smog score in four out of the five classes."
At Honda, dreams have been instrumental to success from the very beginning. Today, those dreams are reflected in our automobiles. In the 21st century, the power of Honda’s dreams will continue to lead to new insights and new technology.
Examples of turning dreams into reality include the zero-emission FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle, the second-generation Civic Hybrid and Honda’s first dedicated compressed natural gas-powered vehicle (CNG), the Civic GX. The Civic Hybrid’s ground-breaking Integrated Motor Assist system helps it achieve remarkable fuel economy as well as incredibly low emissions, while the Civic GX’s near-total zero vehicle emissions combined with its exceptionally low fuel-cycle emissions of natural gas earned the exclusive award as an “Advanced Technology” Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), making it the first vehicle ever awarded this distinction. These vehicles further cement Honda’s position as the cleanest automobile manufacturer in the world. Even Honda’s solar-powered car is named appropriately — the Dream. It won the World Solar Challenge in Australia two consecutive times.
The imagination of Honda engineers exceeded earthly limits by pioneering a new type of jet aircraft— the HondaJet,™ the ultimate in advanced light jet travel. Its powerful HF118 turbofan engine consumes far less fuel than conventional jets in its class.
ASIMO,™ a Honda robot that walks, dances and sings, serves as an Advanced Study in Mobility to inspire out-of-the-box thinking by Honda engineers.
As you can see, Honda’s innovative spirit is alive and well. It is evident in a wide array of products. And as Honda continues to innovate, those products will continue to improve lives—which is what the Power of Dreams is all about.
