Policies say a lot about Honda

It is very good news that Honda expects all its North American operations to be back to full speed by August and that includes its Lincoln plant where three of its most popular vehicles are assembled.

The March earthquake and tsunami in Japan severely hampered Honda’s supply chain and ended up costing the giant automaker months of production as it faced difficult and at times insurmountable obstacles to getting supplies from Japan to North America.

Without those supplies, cars could not be built.

As time passed, the supply chain opened up a bit, and then a little more. But not too long ago Honda officials (along with other Japanese automakers) were expecting a late fall date for full production to resume.

Last week, however, the company announced it wouldn’t take that long.“Honda will increase production volume at its North America automobile plants to a rate of 100 percent original production plan in August,” a company press release announced.

Honda’s employees in Lincoln met the news with enthusiasm.

“Today we announced to our associates in plant-wide meetings that we are planning to accelerate recovery of our production. …” said Mark Morrison, a company spokesman. “When we announced that the Odyssey and Pilot would reach 100 percent of their original production plan in August, our associates greeted the news with great applause,” he said.

That kind of reaction is what you would expect from Honda employees. The 4,000 people who work in the local plant are intensely loyal and, based on the plant’s expansion since opening, also are very productive.

That loyalty and productivity have been rewarded with a unique approach to the forced slowdown in production. Rather than lay off workers, Honda allowed them to work on maintenance chores, or to take earned vacation time to keep their paychecks coming. And after the April 27 tornadoes ripped through our area, Honda allowed its employees to take two days per week to volunteer at cleanup activities while getting paid as though they were at work.

Those policies say a lot about Honda and the kind of company it is. And they say a lot about Honda’s employees and the kind of people they are.

Honda made it through this parts crisis without laying off a single employee in their North American plants, the company said. Now that they are ready to ramp up production again, those employees are available and their morale should be high, since no one had to do with a reduced paycheck during the difficult times.

The Japanese automaker obviously enjoys great economic strength to be able to weather such a crisis without cutting employee paychecks. We commend Honda for its approach, we continue to wish the company a long and prosperous future in Lincoln and the rest of its North America plants.

European Bimmers with the new 8-speed automatic transmission include a fuel-saving idle-stop system like that on many gas/electric hybrid vehicles. This employs a battery-powered electric motor, sandwiched between the transmission and engine, that functions as a starter and/or generator. No word on whether this feature will be included on North American 2012 BMW 3-Series models, but it seems likely. Other possible new mpg-boosters include power steering with electric-motor assist (versus a less-efficient engine-driven pump) and a racing-style kinetic-energy-recovery system that charges the service battery or hybrid-drive battery pack while braking and coasting.
Such developments highlight a general industry trend toward vehicles with more “electrified” systems that contribute to higher fuel economy and lower emissions. Toward that end, as Autocar reports, BMW is working on a completely new electrical architecture that’s likely to be introduced as part of the F30 3-Series’ midterm update. This would be designed to accommodate electrified steering and even brakes, as well as low-energy lighting, the more-powerful batteries and motors being developed for future hybrid-drive systems, and the increasing need for more onboard computing power to coordinate all these systems and run new infotainment features. Autocar also says that BMW is developing a low-energy climate-control system that will keep the cabin constantly dehumidified by reclaiming heat from the engine exhaust. Conceivably, this could eliminate the need for a weighty air-conditioning condenser and power-sapping engine-driven A/C compressor.
More immediately, Autocar says, BMW will focus on optimizing body design to minimize fuel-wasting air drag. You won’t see anything as radical as fully covered wheels or “wingless airplane” shapes. BMW knows styling like that won’t fly with customers. What you can expect are visually subtle tweaks born of wind-tunnel work to pay fuel-economy dividends. An example is the so-called “air curtain.” This uses a series of narrow vertical intakes in the lower front bumper for channeling air to slots inside each front wheel well. The air exits the slots at high velocity to pass over the wheels, creating a virtual barrier that reduces drag in much the same way as a solid cover would. Tests show the air curtain can improve the drag coefficient of a midsize BMW 5-Series by a factor of 0.01, which doesn’t sound like much but is actually quite significant. BMW is investigating similar “airflow management” devices for the underbody and the areas around the brakes and engine bay. Because static air-smoothers like this cost relatively little, we’d expect one or more to show up in the 2012 BMW 3-Series.

Later there will be developments in diesel engines: the 1.6D will be 114 CV and D3 there will be a version with five-cylinder engine and 150 horsepower. In the previous Volvo C30 2.0D there was a 136 hp, a 180 PS D5 (the two are diesel) and a 170 hp 2.4 G for gasoline. The body can be painted in 13 different colors, one of which, called “Orange Flame Metallic ‘is new. The more powerful versions, both diesel and gasoline, continue to carry twin exhaust. Alloy wheels are also different and now you can buy a white.
