Honda has always been an innovative company that is not afraid to do what’s right. While new Honda models continue to be safer and more fun to drive than ever, the automaker is also working toward a goal of zero emissions by the year 2022. It is the latest in the company’s ongoing efforts to combat pollution and climate change. Keep reading for details from DCH Kay Honda
As represented in Honda’s film “Never Ending Race,” it all started back in the 1950s when Los Angeles was covered in an increasingly unhealthy layer of smog. It was a result of a quick population increase coupled with the rise of gas-powered vehicles. With vehicle emissions containing high levels of lead and other toxic chemicals, LA quickly became a dangerous place to live. By the 1970s working or playing outside during the summer was a serious health hazard.
As the pollution in LA became unbearable, California created the very first regulations governing clean air in 1962. Rather than fighting it, Honda bravely embraced the challenge, quickly solidifying itself as a leader in clean driving technology. The very first step was the creation of the groundbreaking PCV valve with CVCC (Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion) technology. Honda was also the first automaker to mass-produce a non-catalytic I.C.E. with low emissions, which appeared in the Honda Civic.
