Honda certainly hadn't chosen an easy route, Although hydraulic transmissions are commonplace in industrial applications, they are difficult to adapt to light vehicles, The power losses have to be reduced to a minimum, and narrow-section pipes must allow a rapid circulation of hydraulic fluid at very high pressure. Honda appears to have resolved these problems, in a particularly elegant manner, with a computer-controlled hydraulic system that uses three dedicated flexible hoses to transmit hydraulic power to hub motors on the 21-inch wheels. | Honda certainly hadn't chosen an easy route, Although hydraulic transmissions are commonplace in industrial applications, they are difficult to adapt to light vehicles, The power losses have to be reduced to a minimum, and narrow-section pipes must allow a rapid circulation of hydraulic fluid at very high pressure.
