History of creation
The brand was founded in 1946 by a talented race car driver, engineer and inventor named Soichiro Honda, and Honda Motor Company was officially registered in 1948, which later became world famous. The first product that Soirtiro specialized in was motorcycles, and already in 1959 the company was recognized as a world leader in this field.
In 1962, the first sports car was released. Honda car manufacturers were based in the United States, Germany, Taiwan, Belgium, and France. The Japanese government did not welcome the new car brand because it did not want to create competition for existing brands Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi. It was believed that such competition was detrimental to the interests of the state, but Soichiro Honda ignored the ban and, in addition to a sports car, launched a small truck on the market.
In 1972, the company received worldwide recognition thanks to the triumphant model of the Civic, which is incredibly popular to date. Since then, Honda has gained a reputation as a manufacturer of inexpensive, compact cars of exceptionally high quality.

The corporation built its own workshops, installed equipment, and engineers and all other personnel were trained. The actions of employees are repeatedly checked by automated systems, so the quality of the finished product is always impeccable.
