As the “origin of value” that leads Honda into the future

Honda R&D keeps a close relationship with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. while serving as a presence that lights the way ahead. Our role is to continuously formulate and provide new value and technologies for society so that Honda remains “a company whose presence is truly valued.”

To be “origin of value” for society

Technology is a mirror reflecting society and a light illuminating the future.
Honda R&D has been delivering “finding issues nobody has noticed, and creating technologies that answer them faster than anyone else.”
By continuously doing this, we become the origin of value for society and lead Honda’s future.

Honda’s spirit lives in “how we create”

We believe that Honda’s true spirit is reflected not only in the results of our technologies but also in the attitude, processes, and philosophies of the people who create them.
Rather than accepting answers given to us, we raise our own questions, work with our hands, and turn ideas into reality.
“Technology for people” is born through these approaches.

Start with “people’s will”, not technology

The driving force of Honda R&D is not technology itself, but the imagination and will of the people who create it.
What questions do we ask? What future do we envision?
Each engineer’s thinking and choices are the foundation of our research. They select their own themes, design concepts, and take responsibility for their progress.
Supporting this freedom and autonomy is an organization that values equal relationships.
Innovative technologies are born from the competition among multiple approaches, and even failures during the process are seen as valuable experiences that lead to the next step.
