2013 Accord’s Accolade-Earning Tech Amazes at Honda Dealer Serving Merrillville

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. - March 26, 2013 - PRLog -- The reputable Honda dealer serving Merrillville is happy that the ECO Assist™ system that comes standard in the latest Accord was named to Green Car Journal’s Top 10 Green Car Technology List for 2013. Ron Cogan, who is the editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal, said that this technology won this award due to its “innate ability to help drivers enhance their fuel efficiency.”

ECO Assist aids owners in having a more eco-friendly 2013 Honda Accord driving experience by having coaching cars that change color from white to green, depending on how efficiently the fuel supply in the sedan or coupe is being utilized. Drivers will be able to use this technology in conjunction with the green ECON button that maximizes fuel economy when it’s pressed on.

This Green Car Technology Award™ that is given out by Green Car Journal looks at and praises those technologies that are leading the way in creating the next generation of fuel-efficient, low-emission or alternative-fuel automobiles, but are integrated into vehicles currently on the market.

Find Innovative Tech in 2013 Honda Accord

Honda LaneWatch™, which is offered in select new Accord models that are available at the Honda dealer serving Merrillville, has won a 2013 “Very Innovative Products” (VIP) Award from Good Housekeeping. This product is actually the only technology from the automotive field to get this prestigious distinction.

The blind spot display actually uses a camera that’s located on the outside mirror on the passenger’s side to get real-time images to be shown on an 8” color dashboard display. This results in a field of view of approximately 80 degrees, which is about four times better than the typical field of view for a passenger-side mirror to make changing lanes much safer.

Honda LaneWatch is only one of nine products to get this accolade out of the over 1,500 that were evaluated by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute in their state-of-the-art laboratory and passed their performance and safety evaluations.
