Honda Power Products

Honda manufactures approximately 500 thousand lawnmowers per year in the United States, France, Australia, China and Italy^*1, and supplies them to Australia, China and other countries in addition to the two largest markets: North America and Europe. Local production began at an early stage, starting in the United States in 1984 and in France in 1986, in accordance with its policy of “making products where they are in demand.” We currently also conduct research and development locally. The lawnmowers sold in Japan are produced in the United States and France.
All Honda lawnmowers incorporate the GXV or GCV engine that features high performance, low fuel consumption and clean exhaust gas emissions. The Honda’s unique transmission can select the optimum speed quickly and easily incorporating with a Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) mechanism and “Smart Drive”, which enables free speed control with a lever. In addition, Honda is currently developing the BBC^*2 safety mechanism that immediately stops rotation of the blade when the clutch is released, and the VMS^*3 mechanism that allows to freely control the processing method of the cut grass. Honda’s electric and other lawnmowers are highly acclaimed by users for the diverse range of advanced mechanisms and the performance of moving beautifully.
