Honda's spending more fund to build new assembly

TOKYO - Honda plans to replace the old assembly process with a new technique in the coming year for the entire production bases worldwide. To that end, Honda set up tens of billions of yen in order to assembly use this new way.

Especially for N Box, which assembled in Mie Prefecture, Honda has re-calculate the materials, components and production steps. With the assembly technique, in addition to a lighter body, the production cost can also be suppressed. Furthermore, Honda hopes, pricing its products more competitive in the global marketplace!

One way that made ​​Honda to save fuel consumption at this time is to reduce the weight of the vehicle. For this not only the type of material that was developed, as well as the assembly process. Thus described by Honda Motor Company when it launched its newest product in Japan, namely N Box. These mini-MPV - length: 3395, width 1475, height 1775 and 2520 wheelbase (mm) - was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show earlier.

For example, to unite or connect body parts, Honda no longer using conventional techniques, namely the connection bolts. To connect the body welding technique adopted point (spot welding). In this way, the weight of the car body can be lowered without reducing its strength (no longer need to use bolts).

In addition, the trim to the ceiling and side panels in (trim), made ​​with the latest production technology, namely the hot print (claimed first in the world) that can increase strength and reduce weight to 10 percent.
