The Honda iGX design concept incorporates two all-new engines, the Honda iGX400 and the Honda iGX430, models that offer commercial construction customers a new level of performance, value, versatility and performance in a compact package.
Providing enhanced quality, the horizontal-shaft engines will be equipped with smart fuel injection (FI) technology and an integrated electronic self-tuning regulator (STR) governor that delivers drive-by-wire remote control capability to manage key aspects of engine operation.
Fuel injection technology improves operating efficiencies, eliminates the engine choke, reduces fuel-associated carburetor issues, and provides easier, smoother starting after extended storage. The Honda Self-Tuning Regulator (STR) governor minimizes engine speed droop typically seen with traditional mechanical governor systems by electronically regulating the throttle opening—allowing the all-new iGX engines to regulate available power when the load changes in demanding commercial environments such as power screeds, hydraulic power units, concrete saws, ride-on concrete trowels, vibratory rollers, generators and pressure washers.
"Honda iGX engines provide durable and flexible power, and reliable, easy operation for industry professionals who depend on the longevity of their equipment to get jobs done in high-demand, heavy-duty commercial, construction and rental applications," says Mark Kohls, vice president of Honda Power Sports & Products, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Our new design concept solidly positions Honda engines to produce the iGX400 and iGX430, two all-new versatile power delivery options for commercial environments, providing ease of operation as well as enhanced productivity and serviceability for OEM manufacturers, contractors, equipment operators, and Honda dealers."
