Mountable Handles for Sports Motorcycles
Published in MotorcycleDavid Duerinckx from Hoegaarden, spent part of his life trying to break through with a product he created. He likes bikes and riding them was one of the pleasures of his life, but riding alone was not the thing he liked most. Every time he took a girlfriend with him, they didn’t feel the same experience of pleasure and feeling of safety as he did. So he started thinking and created Tankgrip.
He worked on a prototype during 4 months, without knowing if it would be an advantage for the duo-rider or not. This all started 10 years ago, the beginning of a long way, with a lot of obstacles. The biggest problem in the beginning was the appearance, they looked like phone horns on a gas tank. Finally he realized this and now they look streamlined with the motorcycle.

Honda FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle production
Published in HondaThe FCX Clarity - Honda’s advanced hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicle - came off the line at the world’s first dedicated fuel cell vehicle manufacturing facility in Japan. After 19 years of development, the arrival of this ‘real world’ fuel cell car marks the beginning of a new era of cleaner motoring.
The FCX Clarity - which emits only water from its exhaust pipe - was presented at a line-off ceremony at the Honda Automobile New Model Centre in Tochigi Prefecture, where Honda also showcased a number of the new production processes. Among the early adopters are the actress Jamie Lee Curtis and her filmmaker husband Christopher Guest, and film producer Ron Yerxa.
A new dedicated fuel cell vehicle assembly line has been established at the Honda Automobile New Model Center, which includes processes unique to a fuel cell vehicle such as the installation of the fuel cell stack and hydrogen tank. Honda Engineering Co., Ltd produces all fuel cell stacks itself, also in Tochigi. In manufacturing fuel cells, exclusively-designed automated equipment was introduced to ensure quality of the highest precision while enabling mass production of cells, with several hundred cells required for each fuel cell stack. Through these initiatives, Honda is making steady progress in the area of fuel cell vehicle production, in addition to fuel cell and fuel cell vehicle technologies, thereby moving closer to realising its goal to enable more widespread use of fuel cell vehicles.
The FCX Clarity was designed from scratch as a dedicated fuel cell vehicle. It is powered by the highly compact, efficient and powerful Honda V Flow fuel cell stack. Boasting a low-slung, dynamic and sophisticated appearance made possible by the innovative layout of the fuel cell power plant, the FCX Clarity offers superior design and driving performance as well as environmental responsibility. Lease sales are scheduled to begin in July in the U.S. and this fall in Japan. The combined sales plan for Japan and the U.S. calls for a few dozen units within a year and about 200 units within three years. Additionally, the FCX Clarity will be exhibited at the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit to begin July 7, as one of a group of advanced environmental technologies.
