Abstract :
Honda has developed a practical new concept in transportation, the intelligent community vehicle system (ICVS), which provides the comfort and freedom of personal transportation while offering a more efficient resource utilization and an improved living environment, by using a system featuring the shared use of environmentally friendly vehicles. Since 1994, Honda has been conducting research and testing of the system in regions around the world. Based on these results and with the support from Singapore´s Economic Development Board, Honda is to commence operation of an ICVS In Singapore in 2002. Through a combination of three usage patterns the vehicles are to be used to their maximum potential, and members will be provided with an easy-to-use, pay-per-use service.
