About the 1994 Honda Acty

The Acty's defining trick is where the engine lives: mounted transversely amidships under the load bed rather than under the cab. It looks like a cab-over, but structurally it is a mid-engined vehicle. Honda's four-wheel-drive Actys use an on-demand Real Time system built around a viscous coupling, so drive goes rearward when it is needed rather than when the driver remembers to select it. This is the van-bodied side of the Acty family, sharing the truck's mid-engine layout under an enclosed body.

Mechanical specification of this Acty Van

Power comes from the E07A, a 660cc unit. Driving four wheels from a mid-mounted E07A meant Honda had to run the drive forward under the cab, which is more engineering than the class strictly demanded. The HH4 runs a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Owning an Acty Van

Square sides on a 330cm × 140cm footprint make the load area far more usable per cubic metre than the outside size suggests. Built in 1994, this Acty Van is 32 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity.
