Honda North Carolina Manufacturing celebrated 40 years of operation this week with new ATV weld and paint equipment. The new tools are part of a $21.5 million investment into the North Carolina facility to make it the sole manufacturer of Honda ATVs in North America. Along with the investment in ATV production, Honda announced that the plant will be the first North American Honda facility to begin manufacturing electric powersports products.
This completes the plan to move all ATV production from Honda’s South Carolina plant in Timmonsville. The SC plant will now be dedicated to side-by-side production.
“Our decision to make North Carolina the home for Honda ATVs today and our electrified powersports and power equipment products of tomorrow is based on the 40-year commitment of Honda associates in the Tar Heel State to build quality Honda products for our customers,” said Mark Kohls, vice president of Honda Powersports and Products, American Honda Motor Co. Inc.
