Basic Approach
To Realize a Zero Traffic Collision Society
Based on the global concept of “Safety for Everyone,” Honda aims to achieve zero traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles
*1 worldwide by 2050. To achieve this goal, Honda has also set a milestone of halving the number of global traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles
*2 by 2030. This applies not just to new models but also to Honda motorcycles and automobiles already on the market. Honda has worked to address traffic accidents caused from various factors by evolving three elements individually and combining each of them:
human ability (awareness-building activities), mobility performance (technological development), and traffic ecosystem (collaboration with others and system/service development).
Going forward, the major challenge for 2030 is fatal accidents involving motorcycles in emerging economies. As the world’s largest provider of motorcycles, Honda sees proactively addressing this issue as its social responsibility. The Company is conducting educational activities targeting a wide range of people and equipping motorcycles with advanced braking systems such as Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Combined Brake System (CBS), as well as lights with high visibility for both riders and other road users.
