Honda said today that is 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 notable move since it was the first Japanese automaker to produce cars in the US. It arguably forced Toyota and Nissan and other makers to follow. Since then, Honda has invested $16 billion in Honda manufacturing facilities in the U.S. that support auto production and, in 2022, over 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.
