In the latest episode of Honda’s video series, “What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda,” we meet a longtime Honda mechanical engineer named Clement D’Souza. Having spent over 26 years with Honda of America Mfg., Inc., D’Souza is now spearheading the creation of the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. This will be home to the exclusive global production of the 2017 Acura NSX supercar.
In his native country of India, D’Souza was known as a field hockey champion. However, upon immigrating to America, he discovered his passion for motorcycles, which made his career at Honda a match made in heaven. Back in 2012, he was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: to be a project leader for the NSX. Since then, D’Souza has been working tirelessly to create this innovative and exciting new vehicle.
D’Souza’s unwavering commitment to this project is derived from the spirit that Honda inspires in their employees. “You can produce something in a new way,” he said. “The ability to dream and try something that nobody else has, I think that’s the reason I’ve been with Honda 26 years.”
