Eco energy for homes by honda

The German heating and air conditioning specialist Vaillant and the Japanese technology company Honda will jointly develop gas-powered micro cogeneration systems for the European market...

Focus from the beginning will be Germany. The two companies have signed a co-operative agreement. The systems will be utilized for the efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective production of power and heat in detached houses.

"We are pleased to have been able to win Honda, the world's leading engine manufacturer, as a partner. With this co-operation we will be able to further expand our portfolio of energy-saving and environmentally friendly products," said Dieter Müller, Managing Director of the Vaillant Group.

"The competence of Vaillant in heating and air conditioning systems and the long experience of Honda in the development and production of highly efficient systems for cogeneration can create the best product," emphasised Takayuki Arima, President of Honda Motor Europe (North) GmbH in Offenbach.

Cogeneration of heat and power (CHP) enables simultaneous production of heat and electricity and is, in Europe, currently almost exclusively used in industry, district heating sectors and in large real estate.

In Japan and the U.S. Honda is already offering small gas-powered micro-cogeneration units (MCHP) for use in detached houses for several years. So far, more than 80,000 2/3 systems have already been sold and installed in the two countries.
