Honda Vehicle Production In North America Reaches 30 Million

On November 1, 1982, Honda opened its first auto production plant in North America in Marysville, Ohio. Now, nearly 33 years later, the brand is celebrating the production of the 30 millionth vehicle produced in North America.

“The production of 30 million automobiles in North America is the result of the support we have received from our customers and the communities that serve as a strong foundation of our operations in North America,” said Takuji Yamada, president of Honda North America, Inc. “This is an incredible achievement by Team Honda – including the tremendous dedication and teamwork of our associates, past and present, together with our suppliers, dealers and business partners – all focused on creating joy for our customers.”

When the Marysville plant first opened, Honda officially became the first Japanese automaker to start producing vehicles in the U.S.  Over the years, the brand has opened plants in East Liberty, Ohio; Lincoln, Ala.; Greensburg, Ind.; Alliston, Ontario; Canada; El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico and Celaya, and Guanajuato, Mexico. Just last year alone, 97 percent of the Honda and Acura vehicles that were sold in the U.S. were produced at one of the company’s North American plants.
