Honda Opens New World-Class Wind Tunnel in Ohio
Honda today opened its new $124 million state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, ushering in a new era of development testing capabilities for Honda and Acura products, as well as the company’s race vehicles. The new Honda Automotive Laboratories of Ohio (HALO) facility, located at the independent Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC) in Central Ohio, is the world’s most advanced wind tunnel, with three separate state-of-the art testing functions — aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and racing — in one location. Honda created the multifunctional HALO facility to reinforce its commitment to developing fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive vehicles. One of the most advanced of its kind anywhere, the wind tunnel uses a unique interchangeable modular ground plane system capable of aerodynamic vehicle testing of production vehicles and race machines. With a five-belt rolling road system designed for production vehicle development and a second single wide-belt system for testing both high-performance sports cars and purpose-built race vehicles, the tunnel can generate wind speeds of more than 190 miles per hour.

| Protecting Our Planet Starts With You | ||||||
| Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three “R’s” to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too. Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources. Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean. Choose sustainable. Learn how to make smart seafood choices at www.fishwatch.gov. Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag. Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room! Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change. Don’t send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office. Bike more. Drive less. |

| Wiper Blades | ||||||
| What are they? Important for the safe operation of your vehicle, wiper blades clear rain, snow, and dirt from the vehicle’s windshield for a clear, unobstructed view of the road.What if I ignore them? Poor wiper performance and visibility issues, including the following: • Chattering: A blade parked in the same position will, over time, mold to the curvature of the windshield’s base. This “permanent set” of the curvature forces erratic contact with the rest of the windshield’s surface as it wipes, causing chatter. • Streaking: While the usual culprit is dry rubber, streaking can also be caused by foreign substances (such as tree sap, insects, or road grime) stuck on the blade rubber. The stuck-on debris moves along with the wiper blade, impairing visibility and sometimes causing windshield damage. • Split or worn rubber: Age and use will cause rubber to wear down and split over time. Split rubber can also be caused from exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Either way, deteriorated rubber blades can hamper your ability to have a safe view in wet weather driving.What if I take care of them? • Restore visibility, allowing you to drive more safely • Restore wiper performance and effectiveness What if I take care of them?
