Milestones – Honda Makes 30 Millionth US Vehicle

Honda said today that it noted the 30 million vehicle production milestone at the company’s auto manufacturing facilities in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana and Ohio.* Honda began production of the Honda Accord at the Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio on 1 November 1982.

This was a significant move at the time since Honda was the first Japanese automaker to produce cars in the US. It arguably forced Toyota and Nissan and other offshore makers to follow. Since then, Honda has invested $16 billion in Honda US manufacturing facilities for auto and associated components for autos. During 2022, more than two-thirds of all Honda and Acura vehicles sold in America were made in the US.

Twelve Honda and Acura branded cars and light trucks, including hybrid versions of the Honda Accord and CR-V, are currently produced at the company’s five auto plants in Alabama, Indiana and Ohio. The engines, transmissions and two-motor hybrid systems that power these vehicles are produced in Ohio, Alabama and Georgia. Honda employs almost 17,000 associates at the eight production facilities that contribute to the annual production capacity of 1.3 million vehicles.*

Honda also recently announced plans to produce fuel cell electric vehicles at the company’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio.

As part of its stated goal to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050, Honda plans  to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles represent 100% of its vehicle sales by 2040 in North America.
