Honda outlines its exhibition for the 2004 Tokyo Motor Show

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced the outline of its exhibition planned for the 38th Tokyo Motor Show.

Honda will exhibit both commercial and barrier-free vehicles at the Tokyo Motor Show 2004 — Commercial & Barrier-free Vehicles — sponsored by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association from Tuesday, November 2 to Sunday, November 7, 2004, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Honda’s theme for this Motor Show is “Lively Motoring for Each and Every One of Us”. As a company which seeks to make mobility accessible to as many people as possible, Honda seeks to provide the pleasure of mobility in a society of people with dreams. Based upon Honda’s philosophy of “Respect for the Individual,” each person’s unique characteristics are considered. The commercial and barrier-free concept vehicles on display demonstrate Honda’s vision of some of the possibilities of mobility; the commercially available vehicles on display demonstrate the company’s determination to meet each customer's needs and to promote mobility for all.
