One such technology brought by the manufacturer is the earth dreams technology . let us know what is this earth dreams technology and where it is applied .

EARTH DREAM TECHNOLOGIES –

is an upgrade to the models after 2016 which increases the fuel efficiency but in the European markets the same technology was applied in 2013 in the new CR-V , the  earth dream technologies include the new IVTEC ,IDTEC and EV technologies .

IVTEC ENGINES-

Honda i-VTEC engines combines VTEC with Honda’s VTC (Variable Timing Control), a continuously variable camshaft phasing system that is used by  the exhaust camshaft of DOHC VTEC engines. This technology was initially seen in the 4 cylinder k series engines .

 AVTEC ENGINES –

This  is the advance version of VTEC engine introduced by Honda back in the year 2006 , initially Honda indented to use this engine in 2008 Honda civic but later it dropped the plan ..AS of result we don’t see any Honda cars with this kind of engines any more .

IDTEC ENGINES –

Honda’s IDTEC engines have completely changed the mindset of the world regarding how it used to look to diesel engines .Honda build its diesel engines with the lightest material employ an open deck aluminum block that is designed using computer simulation to ensure precise construction of the lightweight compact engines.

Integrated Motor Assist– 

Integrated Motor Assist also known as IMA is the Honda’s hybrid car  technology which uses an electric motor  without compromising the engine efficiency. IMA  technology has also received Best New Technology” by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada  . 

The IMA supports the engine during a low rpm normal driving range by utilizing the electric motor to generate a high-torque performance. 

Ima based Honda cars – 

Honda J-VX (model 1997 concept car) 

Honda Insight (model 1999–2006, 2010–2014) 

Honda Civic Hybrid (model 2003–2016) 

Honda Accord Hybrid (model 2005-2007) 

Honda CR-Z (model 2009–2016) 

ASIMO–

Honda has also taken a part in advanced mobility research where the findings were used to create ASIMO the world’s first humanoid robot and first venture in flight by Honda . Honda had began developing the humanoid back in the 19th century where it was just imaginary thing for the world .ASIMO  was developed as a part of Honda Honda E series.

For celebrating 10 anniversary of ASIMO , it developed an application   called “Run with ASIMO.” 

In March 2017, Honda revealed ASIMO in Disneyland‘s Autopia attraction
