Honda advocates green awareness among the youth
Posted by: MyWheels
In its non-stop drive for a greener future, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) recently gathered almost 100 students from the country’s premier universities like Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, Enderun Colleges, Miriam College, University of Asia and the Pacific and University of the Philippines to promote environmental awareness among the leaders of tomorrow. Honda partnered with AIESEC Philippines, a global student organization that gives importance in world issues and leadership development, to actively face environmental issues that our society is going through.
In advocating green awareness, Honda organized a fuel efficiency driving competition called Honda Challenge Cup in the morning and an environmental forum in the afternoon.
Faced with the hurdles of unstable fuel prices, depleting fuel supply and excessive exhaust emissions, Honda challenged the students to make every drop of fuel matter and to initiate change among them. As novice drivers, Honda taught these young students the correct driving techniques in achieving better fuel mileage. Honda appealed among the participants to regularly apply these techniques in their daily trips and eventually turn it into a habit. Driving every drop of fuel may sound tricky but can be easily achieved by considering three basic factors: vehicle, driver and fuel. A proper vehicle, equipped with advanced technologies like the i-VTEC engine, which is driven using proper techniques and is powered with high grade fuel that aids better combustion all contribute in optimizing fuel economy.
