From this engine-powered bicycle, Honda has grown into a company that moves people in every conceivable way: motorcycles, automobiles, trucks, marine engines, hybrid vehicles, a jet, a fuel-cell car and even a robot that will walk and run to assist those who can't. Each innovation begins with the same dream Mr. Honda had when he found that engine; the dream of bringing the joy of mobility to people. |
