Honda was founded in 1948 by Soichiro Honda, but began as a company that manufactured parts (such as piston rings) well before that. Their first major success, however, derived from their ability to develop motorized bicycles that ran on turpentine. A true born innovator, Honda developed a “chimney” engine that looked and emulated exactly what it was nicknamed after. This would lead to a ½ horsepower Model A engine that bore the same nickname for similar reasons. The bicycle was not a stopping point for Honda, but rather the beginning of a very successful venture in the automotive industry.
In 1948, the Honda Technical Research Institute formed the Honda Motor Company, Limited to manufacture motorcycles. Soichiro Honda possessed a keen desire to provide a quality product that separated itself from other motorcycles, and nearly ten years later they were a leader of the industry and finally reached the United States market. Even so, this would still prove to be insufficient for Honda. Much of the innovation at Honda stemmed from an interest in racing, since racing could provide the opportunity for research and a recipe for high performance that simultaneously pushed the conventional limitations of the modern engine. So, with that in mind, it’s no surprise Honda’s first car was an S360 lightweight sports car, which eventually lead to the commercial S500. Without these progressive advancements, Honda would have never been capable of producing some of the most beloved and reliable vehicles on the planet. Being a first of many upgrades (such as passenger air bags and ABS systems), Honda’s strive for innovation still exists today. Even cars like the Civic aren’t enough, as Honda has continued to push the idea of what an automobile can be by being one of the first to develop a car that runs solely on solar energy - otherwise known as the Honda Dream. The company’s constant and undeniable pursuit of creativity is a clear reason for its continued success across the globe today.
