Yu Technology: Introducing Honda SENSING, 15 years old Honda Taiwan is committed to building the safest cars

From birth to learning to walk, babbling, and becoming independent, the age of 15 has different meanings in many places. When Honda Taiwan's first "Made in Taiwan" CR-V was launched in 2003, Honda Taiwan, which has gone through 15 years, is ready to continue to work hard for countless 15 years to come based on its strong foundation.

In 2002, Honda Giken Industrial Co., Ltd. fully recovered the sales/production rights of the original agent, and fully renovated the purchased factory in Pingtung, southern Taiwan, and at the same time established "Taiwan Honda Taiwan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Taiwan has become Honda's 100% overseas subsidiary. Better service, more innovation, and more comprehensive investment are Honda Taiwan’s expectations for itself. Self-expectations, consumers' expectations

Different from the past, the establishment of Honda Taiwan means that standards are more consistent, resources can be shared, innovation will be synchronized, and services will be better, in order to present Honda authentically The founder, Mr. Soichiro Honda, insists on technology, stable quality, and safety requirements. Honda Taiwan has inherited Honda's spirit from the inside out - "? The Power Of Dreams?", just to meet car owners' expectations for Honda.

Milestones are recognition of people, things and things with high self-requirements. Looking back on the development of the past 15 years, in this treasure island carrying 23 million hopes, Honda Taiwan has also grown step by step since its establishment. It has set many milestones in its footsteps. In addition to the introduction of the second-generation FIT, every CR-V since the second generation, the seventh-generation Acord, the eighth-generation Civic, the new HR-V and other models into China, other imported models such as the Accord , Insight, ODYSSEY, etc., as well as the two-wheeled models introduced after the domestic heavy-duty machine market was opened in recent years. In these years, Honda Taiwan has won the support of consumers with a total sales volume of more than 300,000 vehicles. In addition to being recognized by multiple domestic awards, Honda Taiwan has also accompanied Taiwan through many ups and downs. Even with new developments in vehicle technology and safety, what remains unchanged is the determination to continue to cultivate this land. The "Three Happiness Philosophy" that exists within and appears outside

Change must be synchronized with the inside and outside; growth must be from the inside out. After Honda Taiwan was established, it took the "Three Joys Philosophy" as its main axis and started from three aspects: exhibition room, sales service, and manufacturing. It hopes to make the joy of buyers, sellers, and manufacturers synchronized and consistent. growing up.

In Pingtung, southern Taiwan, the factory responsible for manufacturing and production will be fully renovated. After the expansion and replacement of production lines, Honda Taiwan will first let colleagues working for this company feel The determination to improve comprehensively and introduce automated equipment to improve production efficiency and product yield also give every colleague who handles vehicle manufacturing a deep confidence in their products. For a long time, Taiwan, a unique small market, has not been able to carry out new car evaluation work such as crash tests on vehicles like EuroNCAP, Japanese J-NCAP, American IIHS and other related units in Europe. However, in order to be able to pass on the concept of vehicle safety, Since Honda Taiwan was founded in Taiwan, it has been continuously improving and improving from the procurement of raw materials, improvement of manufacturing processes, and related standard operating procedures, so as to require that every Honda that is Made in Taiwan can also be Made. in Japan. In addition, Honda Taiwan has also included in the internal audit standards regarding the possible impact of manufacturing on the environment, hoping to produce high-quality vehicles while also reducing environmental harm. Safety is non-negotiable

In addition, the safety awareness of Chinese people has increased in recent years. Even though Taiwan does not have relevant regulations for new car crash tests like foreign countries, with the help of Japanese original manufacturers, from the steel In terms of selection, data sharing, equipment installation, etc., Honda Taiwan complies with the standards of the Japanese original manufacturer.

Passive safety part: The original G-CON (G Force Control Technology) technology concept, coupled with the ACE steel frame structure, uses composite steel frame materials and polygonal steel beam cross-section structures to improve the deformation control force and cage structure of the buffer zone Strength, thereby reducing the impact that collisions at various angles may have on passengers in the car; if a collision is unavoidable, the neck impact-reducing seat and the EPT (Electric Seatbelt Pretensioner) electronic pre-retracted seat belt can effectively prevent the body from shifting towards the collision site , coupled with the SRS auxiliary airbag with multiple inflation and soft-detonation deployment impact settings, it will also provide safer protection for passengers. As for ISOFIX (International Standards Organization FIX), it will provide a more solid safety seat for toddlers and infants when installed. standard equipment.

In terms of active safety, Honda Taiwan has also introduced the new Honda SENSING. Honda SENSING, which is composed of a single-lens camera (set behind the front windshield) and a millimeter-wave radar (mounted on the front lower bumper), allows new cars in the CR-V class to be launched one after another to achieve breakthroughs in safety assistance capabilities The development of ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) active distance adjustment cruise system will monitor the distance to the vehicle in front. When a vehicle cuts in or slows down in front, it will automatically reduce the speed to maintain a safe distance. Depending on the road conditions, it will automatically return to the set cruising speed; as for intelligently maintaining the car in the lane, it must rely on the LKAS (Lane Keep Assist System) that operates at speeds between 72~145km/h and RDM (Road Departure Mitigation) road departure suppression system. When the driver deviates from the original driving lane without turning on the turn signal, the steering wheel vibration and light warning will first remind, and then the automatic steering assist force will be used to steer the vehicle. Return to the original lane.

While the vehicle is driving, Honda SENSING protects every passenger in the Honda vehicle in an all-round and uninterrupted manner. The speed range at that time is 5~100km/h, FCW (Front Collision Warning) ) Forward Collision Warning System, when it detects the risk of collision, it will use warning sounds, steering wheel vibrations and dashboard warning icons to remind the driver to pay attention and respond immediately; if a collision is unavoidable, CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) collision mitigation braking The system will pre-pressurize the braking system to help the driver shorten the stopping distance. Even if the driver fails to react in time, the system will automatically activate the brakes in the speed range of 5~100km/h to avoid accidents or reduce accidental injuries.

In addition to the above-mentioned active and passive safety systems, other existing electronic assistance systems including body stability, recognition enhancement, braking assistance, blind spot detection, parking assistance, etc. also make new models such as CR-V, It has a safety factor that is superior to other cars in its class. ?The "Trinity" concept creates an excellent Honda experience

After completing the construction of manufacturing-related systems and introducing advanced vehicle protection systems, Honda Taiwan then began to study how to get closer to consumers. of contact. "Excellent Honda experience" is the main axis Honda Taiwan chooses to communicate with consumers. It is also the only and continuous goal of its efforts. It integrates three functions including sales, service, and parts supply, and implements the "trinity" concept throughout Taiwan. exhibition room. The sun shines warmly through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the originally bright and clean showroom brings a more open and comfortable atmosphere to consumers; when the car owner returns to the factory for maintenance, the service attitude of the personnel, the quality and progress of the maintenance of the vehicle, and the related Adequate supply of spare parts is a principle that Honda Taiwan thoroughly implements. Among them, in the repair and maintenance part, from the perspective of the car owner, there are certain processes before, during and after the after-sales service is carried out, so that the car owner can understand the condition of the car, estimated repair or maintenance time, rough estimate of the price, and also personally After returning to the Honda Taiwan maintenance shop, I saw the related maintenance work performed in the clean, spacious and ventilated maintenance shop.

The Honda brand has gone through a period of time. How to accurately inherit and continue Honda's spirit - "The Power Of Dreams" - is a topic for Honda Taiwan in the past, present and future. The language of communication must be adjusted accordingly. The development and application of vehicle technology must also keep pace with the times, and the quality and safety of vehicle manufacturing must be upheld.

Over the past 15 years, Honda Taiwan has won multiple awards in Taiwan, whether for environmental protection, vehicles, etc. Each award only represents recognition of past efforts. The self-expectation of "making customers more moved and happier" will become the driving force behind Honda Taiwan's pursuit of excellence. Motivation, because this is not just a dream, in the treasure island of Taiwan, Honda Taiwan will continue to implement every plan and grow hand in hand with consumers, and demonstrate the power of consistency, down-to-earth, gentleness and perseverance!
