Power Products Supporting Everyday Life
Honda Power Products are designed to make everyday life easier, with a lineup that includes generators, lawnmowers, snow throwers, tillers, and power generators.
Honda’s Power Products business began in 1953, when the company developed a power generator at the request of a manufacturer of compact agricultural machinery. Since then, guided by the belief that technology should improve people’s lives, Honda has continued to develop products that support customers around the world. Cumulative production has now exceeded 175 million units (as of the fiscal year ended March 2025).
This feature explores the history and technologies behind Honda Power Products, while also highlighting Honda’s efforts toward carbon neutrality through electrification and intelligent technologies.
