The Honda N22A engine is Honda's first in-house developed diesel engine. [2] The project to develop this engine had been underway since 1995 under lead engineer Kenichi Nagahiro and the first engines were released in 2003. [3] [4] Nagahiro's dissatisfaction with the clumsiness of older diesel engines was an inspiration to make something better. [5] This "Hate something, change something" message became the theme of Honda's 2004 advertising campaign 'Grrr'. [6] In 2005 the N22A was awarded the title of 'International Engine of the Year' for 2.0-2.5 l engines.
