In the automotive world, engineering is truly what sets vehicles and brands apart. Engineering a vehicle takes creativity, thoughtfulness, intelligence, and a willingness to test the boundaries. Few, if any, do this as well as Honda automakers. Honda vehicles have been lauded for their impressive performance standards as well as their reliability. But who, exactly, is behind these vehicles we all know and love? You might be surprised by the answer.
The Honda brand recently mentioned that making a great car isn't necessarily about all of the different mechanical pieces involved-it's about the person who creates them. Annie Boh has been working for Honda automakers for 11 years now, so she's an expert in what it takes to make a vehicle a consumer gem. However, what you might not know about this particular engineer is that she found her way into the car industry after having studied aerospace engineering. That's right, the person inventing the cars you've grown to rely on literally has a background in building innovative, aerodynamic, and futuristic creations.
Boh and the entire engineering team focus their efforts on making new Honda models as road friendly as possible, and they do this by testing them in wind tunnels and understanding the quantitative impact air and environmental factors can have on the overall drivability of their vehicles. Most importantly, car making is about passion, and Boh and her team have a lot of it. Boh mentioned that her main motivator, the thing that drives her to continually create and re-create impressive models, is the fact that she knows what she's doing has a huge impact on the lives of people around the globe.
So next time you see a Honda car around San Antonio, consider how much work went into creating the vehicle and where that vehicle could go in the future. Here at your local Honda dealership, we can't wait to see the new Honda vehicles Boh and the entire Honda team will come up with next
