Honda to Invest Three Billion in New Ohio Plant

Honda Invests Three Billion

Honda announced a three billion dollar investment to build a new automotive plant in Ohio, creating over 2,000 jobs, according to a report by Infobae.

The facility will stand between the current Marysville and East Liberty plants in central Ohio, marking the fourth automotive assembly plant for the company in the state as GeeksRoom reported. It will reach full operations by 2029, provided the company secures the corresponding government authorizations.

Ohio Factory Will Produce 240,000 Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

The new Ohio factory will yield 240,000 vehicles annually. It will handle hybrid, gasoline, and fully electric models, according to Infobae. The selection of Ohio builds on the presence of skilled workers, established suppliers, and nearby research and development centers, alongside regional facilities dedicated to engines, hybrid systems, and batteries.

North American Production Boost

Honda will expand its total U.S. production capacity to roughly 1.3 million vehicles per year using domestic and globally made parts. Across all of North America, capacity will reach 1.9 million units annually, Infobae reported.

Additional funds will flow into plants in Alabama and Georgia to support new hybrid systems and engines.

In Alabama, operations will be modernized to produce a new V6 hybrid engine alongside an updated assembly line allowing the Honda Passport to be manufactured on two lines.

The Anna engine plant in Ohio will adapt equipment for a new four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine intended for future compact and medium vehicles, while the Ohio transmission facility adds a second hybrid systems line. The Georgia facility will also receive a new assembly line to produce hybrid systems for larger vehicles.

Canadian Plant Upgrades

Honda will modernize its Alliston facilities in Ontario, Canada, to assemble a new generation of hybrid and gasoline vehicles. The project also brings engine manufacturing back to the Canadian site, Infobae noted.

The company did not disclose the exact cost or timeline for the Canadian upgrades.

Bob Nelson, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., said the investments are among the company's largest industrial commitments in the United States and will strengthen the country's position in the company's global operations.

Hybrid Model Rollout

Honda plans to introduce 15 new hybrid models across its Honda and Acura brands worldwide by 2030, building on a plan announced in May 2026 with North America as the priority market. Engineering teams in California and Ohio are already developing these vehicles.
