Honda to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emission

The increasing awareness of the threat of the global warming issue in the auto industry has car manufacturers taking steps to reduce the greenhouse gases emission of their vehicles. New developments like better particulate filters are being used to trap greenhouse gases before they can be released into the atmosphere.

Honda is one of the leading car manufacturers in terms of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Due to their dedication to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission, the company is named as the “Greenest Automaker” recently by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

The Japanese car company is already reducing the amount of carbon dioxide that is released in the atmosphere by their vehicles or in the production of their vehicles.

The second largest Japanese car manufacturer has already used advanced fuel consumption reduction technologies on their Honda and Acura vehicles. The use of such technologies gave them the best corporate average fuel economy or CAFE.

For 2006 model passenger cars, Honda’s auto fleet has an average of 33.9 miles per gallon while for light trucks the average is 24.7 miles per gallon. The mpg rating is determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or EPA.

The company’s dedication to reducing carbon dioxide emission became evident in May of 2006 when Honda became the first auto maker to announce voluntary carbon dioxide emission reduction by 2010. The targeted reduction is not only for their vehicles but also in the production process. Last year, the company announced that they will be reducing the carbon dioxide emission of their automobiles released globally by five percent from 2205 through 2010.

The five percent target reduction will bring the total carbon dioxide emission reduction to ten percent from year 2000 to 2010. Aside from reducing the emission of their automobiles, the company will also target to reduce the carbon dioxide emission of their motorcycles by ten percent from 2000 to 2010.

In order for the company to attain the carbon dioxide emission reduction it has set, they have embarked on the development of advanced technologies for their vehicles. Some of these advanced technologies that they have developed are the improved Variable Cylinder Management system and other intelligent engine systems. Honda will also be producing affordable gas-electric hybrids made affordable so that it will be easily accessible for a huge number of car buyers. The company is also developing a clean diesel engine with reduced fuel consumption and reduced emission.

Honda is designing the diesel engine to have emissions that would be as clean as their fuel efficient gasoline engines. These vehicles will, of course, offer that trademark Honda reliability similar to the reliability of Volvo valve cover gasket.

In terms of production of vehicles, Honda also aims to reduce greenhouse gas emission. From year 2000 until 2005, the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere during the production of one Honda vehicle is reduced by five percent. The company intends to further reduce that by five percent more through year 2010. For the production of motorcycles, Honda is planning to reduce carbon dioxide emission by twenty percent through the year 2010.
