For the 3rd consecutive year Honda has won the prestigious award in Japan for the originality and styling of the BF45, (launched 1988) to BF60 (launched 2009) outboard engines. The Award will be presented by the Japanese Prime Minister, Kan Naoto, in November.
The Best 15 products are presented to the public in a Grand Award selection event. 2010 will mark the third year that Power Equipment products have received the Good Long Life Design Award. The Inverter Generator series EU9i, Eu24i, Eu28i (EU10i, EU26i and EU30is in Europe) won in 2008, and the mini Tiller series (F220 and FG201 in Europe) won in 2009.
The Good Long Life Design Award is the only comprehensive program for the evaluation and encouragement of design in Japan. It is awarded to products that have been either manufactured or sold where the basic fundamentals of the design have remained unchanged for more than ten years, proving they have timeless and unique qualities.
Martin Sanders, General Manager, Honda Motor Europe, Power Equipment said:
‘We are delighted to win this award for our outboard engines as we have been the pioneers of four-stroke technology since we introduced the GB30 in 1964. The design element of all our products has grown through the desire of our customers to improve performance and efficiencies whilst striving to exceed environmental standards.’
All Honda Outboard Engines come with a 3 year Pan-European warranty and industry leading customer focused technologies that enhance the boating performance whilst simultaneously maximising fuel efficiency.
