Honda 針對女性車主推出新設計

從 Sunday Times 看來的新聞，還沒時間翻譯。新的設計理念並不僅僅是動動小零組件，重新刷塗外型，以消費性潮流為宗，還是能夠讓女性更方便駐車而已。我們來看看任職於 Honda 的 Scott Grimsdall 怎麼說：

The new design is the result of a three-year programme to collect data on women’s bodies and the way they ride. “The ergonomics and design of our current range of bikes are drawn from data about riders who have predominantly been male,” says Scott Grimsdall of Honda. “We have built a new database of the dimensions and preferences of women riders which has enabled us to design a bike with them in mind.”

專業、執著，還有研發能力，就是這樣子來的。三年的研究計劃，不知多少女性車主的生理結構與車輛互動之資訊，全部在資料庫中，以供新設計專案運用。
