The rise of an icon: a brief history of Honda motors.

 

Honda - one of the largest and oldest Japanese automotive companies, known worldwide for its high-quality and reliable cars. The history of Honda began in 1946 when engineer Soichiro Honda founded a small workshop in Tokyo to manufacture piston rings. Within a few years, Honda became the largest supplier of piston rings for the Japanese automotive industry.

In 1949, Honda developed its first motorcycle - the Honda Model D. This motorcycle had a two-stroke single-cylinder 0.5 hp engine. In 1958, Honda introduced its first four-stroke motorcycle Super Cub, which immediately gained huge popularity. Over 100 million Super Cubs have been sold worldwide.

We Tested the BMW iX: It Flies and Shoots Rockets!

Here is the translation of the BMW iX review into English:

The BMW iX is the first fully electric premium crossover from the German automaker. The model was announced in November 2019, and its serial production began in 2021 at the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing, Germany.

The iX is based on an entirely new modular platform optimized for electric vehicles. This allowed for an ideal balance between spaciousness, comfort and dynamics. The body is made with extensive use of aluminum and carbon fiber, which provides high rigidity and low weight.
