General-Purpose Engines
In post-World War II Japan, Honda yearned to make people’s lives easier, and create tools that would be useful in everyday life. This desire eventually led to the development of an auxiliary engine for bicycles, which led to the Super Cub, and ultimately to the birth of Honda Power Products.
Tiller
Driven by the conviction that technology should make people’s lives easier, Honda began developing and selling tillers following its general-purpose engines. Amid the harsh post-World War II agricultural environment, Honda’s tillers played a major role in revitalizing postwar agriculture in Japan.
Generator
Honda Power Products’ desire to make everyday life easier took a new direction in the 1960s—toward developing products that would make it possible to use electrical appliances even where power outlets were not readily available.
