Honda Showcased Its More Sustainable Product Design Vision at Milan Design Week.<br/><br/>SUSTAINA-C Concept and Pocket Concept join production of SH125i 'Vetro' scooter to demonstrate Honda's evolving approach to more sustainable product design.<br/><br/>The use of new materials and unique unpainted finishes reduce CO2 emissions during production and create a different aesthetic for customers.<br/><br/>The models demonstrate Honda's 'Triple Action to Zero' strategy in action, which embraces the goal of carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities by 2050.<br/><br/>Honda will headline Vanity Fair Italia's 'Garden of Ideas' event to celebrate design, innovation and sustainability at the Museo Diocesano from 16-21 April.<br/>Honda is showcasing its evolving approach to more sustainable product design with the European premiere of its latest electric urban vehicle concepts, the SUSTAINA-C Concept car and Pocket Concept motorcycle, at Milan Design Week from 16 to 21 April.<br/><br/>Both will star alongside the SH125i 'Vetro' scooter to demonstrate the innovative use of materials and unique design aesthetics that can be created while reducing CO2 emissions from the production process at Honda Italia Industriale's factory in Atessa, Italy. This is one of the ways Honda is pursuing its goal of achieving carbon neutrality across all products and corporate operations by 2050.<br/><br/>First shown at the 2024 Japan Mobility Expo, the SUSTAINA-C Concept explores how society can be freed from the constraints of limited resources. It comes with the Pocket Concept, a compact motorcycle that can be stored in the luggage compartment and provides last-mile mobility.<br/><br/>The panels are manufactured using recycled acrylic resin from second-hand taillights to create exterior panels that do not require painting, allowing Honda to create a unique, paint-free finish that would not be possible with traditional materials. This material approach can reduce emissions during production by up to 45 percent, partly through the recycled materials used, but also by leaving the panels unpainted; This can account for 80 percent of an automobile factory's CO2 emissions.<br/><br/>The model exhibited in Milan has a black and white marble effect achieved by mixing colors with different melting points into the panels while molding; As the material settles into the mold, it leaves a marbling behind.<br/><br/>In addition to their eye-catching appearance, vehicle panels have a structure that is resistant to cracking and can return to its original shape after minor collisions, as well as offering a high level of resistance to weather conditions by minimizing distortion caused by sunlight.<br/><br/>At the rear, the excellent transparency of acrylic resin allowed the tailgate of the SUSTAINA-C Concept to consist of a single panel that acts like a smartphone screen. <br/><br/>Source: Honda
