Honda to Invest $3 Billion in New Ohio Plant to Boost Hybrid Vehicle Production
By Kelly Cloonan
Honda is putting $3 billion toward building a new plant in Ohio to boost production of its hybrid vehicles.
The automaker said Monday the facility would be capable of building 240,000 vehicles a year, bringing the company's total U.S. auto production capacity to about 1.3 million vehicles annually.
The facility, which is expected to begin production in 2029, is part of a broader push to bolster Honda's U.S. footprint and boost production of its hybrid vehicles, as well as related engines and hybrid systems.
The company said it is also investing in its operations in Ohio, Alabama and Georgia to support those efforts.
The new plant, located near Honda's existing Ohio manufacturing operations, will have the flexibility to produce multiple vehicle types and powertrains including hybrid and gas-powered vehicles, as well as electric vehicles, the company said.
