Honda R&D Americas Inc. and Continental, an international automotive supplier, were the recipients of Automotive News’ 2016 PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Innovative Partnership Award this past Monday during the Annual PACE Awards ceremony in Detroit. This award follows the two companies’ collaboration over developing the Bidirectional Long Range Communication System, which allows a driver to use a remote control key fob to lock/unlock the vehicle, activate climate controls, and even start the engine from up to a third of a mile away.
“Building a successful partnership like the one forged with Continental does not happen overnight,” said Frank Paluch, President of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. “It takes time, trust, teamwork and a singular goal – to deliver a product that provides great value to our customers. It is an honor to be recognized by the PACE award committee for this innovative collaboration.”
