For more than two decades Honda has led the way in balancing what consumers want with what the environment needs. Technologies change over time — but our commitment to the environment never will. We realize that the key to protecting the environment for the future is to build products that pollute less, use less gasoline and yet still appeal to our customers.

Honda's environmental leadership incorporates a dual approach.

1. Developing products for the future using advanced technologies, including alternative fuels but also remaining committed to reducing emissions and increasing the fuel efficiency of our conventional gasoline engine products.
2. Manufacturing our products using increasingly efficient production processes in our factories throughout the world.

In keeping with the company's commitment to environmental technology leadership, Honda has consistently led the industry in meeting new emissions requirements. Every 2003 Honda model achieves Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV) status or better. Honda also has the highest Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) rating among the 10 major automakers.
