The Official Vehicle Supplier of the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay, Honda is providing a fleet of vehicles to transport relay participants and staff in their 12,000-kilome- tre, nine-month trek across the country. The 14-vehicle fleet consists of new Honda and Acura vehicles, including four Acura MDXs, six Honda Pilots, one Honda Ridgeline, and three Honda Odyssey minivans that are retrofit to accommodate passengers in wheel- chairs. Honda has always had a focus on mobility solutions, not only through its cars, trucks and motorcycles, but also through innova- tions designed to make the world more acces- sible like the companys ASIMO humanoid robot as well as its Stride Management Assist and Bodyweight Support Assist devices. The Honda and Acura vehicles will be on route for the duration of the Relay, as the convoy retraces the Canadian leg of Rick Hansens original Man In Motion World Tour in 1986, coincidentally the same year Honda started manufacturing cars in Canada. To find out more about Hondas role in the relay, check out Honda Canadas Facebook page, the Twitter account and Honda.ca.
