The newest episode of the “What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda” series has just been released by the brand. This episode focuses on mechanical engineer Clement D’Souza who is a 26 year veteran of Honda of America Mfg., Inc.. He was most recently largely a part of the creation and development of the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio that will be exclusively responsible for the global production of the 2017 Acura NSX supercar.
Clement and his family were originally from India where his first passion was field hockey and then became motorcycles when he moved to the U.S. This second love is what led him to become part of the Honda team where he worked and grew over time. Finally, in 2012, he was presented with the opportunity to become the project leader for the development of the new NSX and he eagerly took on the challenge to become part of the development of an entirely new vehicle.
D’Souza speaks to the challenging spirit of Honda as the secret to his enduring commitment to the company. “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.”
Hear more about his story in the video below.
