Honda holds Grand Eye Ball at 3rd PIMS

MANILA, Philippines - Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI), in its green advocacy to leave blue skies for the children, was supported by Honda Club of the Philippines (HCP) in the recently concluded 3rd Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS).

A total of 300 members from HCP brought their Honda vehicles and gathered at the World Trade Center to act as Honda’s brand ambassadors in promoting green motoring.

“Together as a club, we are proud and thrilled to join Honda in this worthy cause. This is our simple way of expressing our accordance with environmentally responsible driving. With green engineering behind i-VTEC engines, owning a Honda imparts a badge of environment-friendliness,” said Jong Herrera, president of HCP.

In driving a Honda, HCP members, together with other Honda owners, help preserve the environment by consuming less fuel and by releasing less harmful emissions. All powered by the ingenious i-VTEC engine, Honda vehicles make the most out of every drop of fuel by adjusting valve timing and valve opening combination to pump in fuel as needed. Apart from fuel efficiency, Honda vehicles are also engineered to release less harmful emissions. Honda is the only local manufacturer that reaches EURO 4 levels for ALL its model line-up, even if Philippine regulations only mandate EURO 2 compliance. EURO 4 standards translate to approximately 56% reduction in harmful emissions as compared to EURO 2 standards. To date, almost 82,000 Honda units with EURO 4 levels have already been sold and ply Philippine roads.

“It was truly an amazing sight to behold 180 Honda vehicles all gathered in one venue! We are grateful for the passionate support of Honda enthusiasts in joining us for this green cause,” said Voltaire Gonzales, Vehicle Sales and Corporate Communications Head of HCPI. “Another reason for great celebration is Honda Cars Philippines, Inc.’s upcoming 20th year of manufacturing clean and green driving machines this October. We are extremely excited to share this meaningful celebration with everyone,” he added.
