In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, Honda will refurbish the minivan and provide it to the local government so that it can be used for transporting patients with mild illness to accommodation facilities where they are temporarily treated.
The car to be remodeled has a partition between the driver's seat and the rear seats to reduce the risk of infection to the driver.
This car has already been provided in Tokyo's Shibuya and Minato wards, and we plan to provide about 50 cars in the future, mainly in municipalities in Tokyo.
In addition, we are planning to produce a “face shield” that covers the entire face that is lacking at medical sites at plants in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, and aim to provide it to medical sites next month.
In the automobile industry, there is a succession of movements to support medical sites by utilizing the technology cultivated in car production. Toyota Motor Corp. also produces “face shields” at plants in Aichi Prefecture, and respirators by medical device manufacturers. Will support the increase in production.
