Although many companies take pride in naming themselves after their founders' surnames, Soichiro Honda was the only founder who expressed remorse and regret at doing so. Soichiro Honda believed that a company should be a public resource that benefits society rather than a private resource that benefits only one person or a select few.
Honda was founded in 1948 and entered the car market in 1963, quickly gaining recognition for its fuel-efficient and practical vehicles like the Civic and Accord. Today, Honda is a global leader in engine technology, producing powertrains for cars, motorcycles, power equipment, and even aircraft. The company is a big player in robotics, with creations like Asimo, a humanoid robot capable of walking, running, and interacting with humans. Honda continues to push the boundaries of technology and design, focusing on electrification, artificial intelligence, and connected vehicles.
The Honda badge isn't just any "H." It's a bold, capital "H" - wider at the top, like arms raised in triumphant victory. This intentional design mirrors the brand's "Power of Dreams" motto, a constant reminder to chase ambitious goals and reach beyond the ordinary.
