History
Honda was founded in 1946 by engineer, inventor and race car driver Soichiro Honda, born in 1906. The company as it stands and with more than 50 years of history has survived thanks to his audacious, inventive and unconventional way of thinking and behaving.
Typa-47X Born into a poor Honda family, before graduating from high school, at the age of 16 he entered an auto repair shop in Tokyo as an apprentice. An early attachment to motor vehicles was due to his father's profession - a blacksmith who fixed bicycles and instilled in his son the skills of solving technical problems. In 1928, having saved enough money, he returned to his hometown in Hamamatsu province and opened the first repair shop there. In the same year, he received the first of his hundreds of subsequent patents - for the idea of replacing wooden spokes in a wheel with metal ones. Honda's inventions in the future brought him fame as a man capable of finding simple solutions to complex problems. In 1938 he invented the piston ring; the production of rings was carried out by Tokai Seiki Heavy Industry, which he founded in 1937.
