Honda to Build New Auto Plant in Ohio: $3.38 Billion Commitment and 2,390 New Jobs
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine joined leaders from Honda, JobsOhio, One Columbus, and Union County in Marysville on Nov. 9 to announce that Honda will build a new auto plant in Central Ohio, investing approximately $3 billion and creating more than 2,000 new jobs.
The new plant will be Honda's fourth auto plant in Ohio, located between Honda's Marysville and East Liberty auto plants. With a planned capacity of 240,000 vehicles a year, it will have the flexibility to produce multiple vehicle types and powertrains, including hybrid, gasoline-powered, and battery-electric vehicles. Production is expected to begin in 2029, pending final government approvals. Honda is also investing in its Anna Engine Plant and Honda Transmission Plant-Ohio to expand production of engines and hybrid systems. In total, Honda's new commitment in Ohio is 2,390 new jobs and a new investment of $3.38 billion.
"Honda's leadership could have chosen to build this plant anywhere in the world, but they chose Ohio," Governor DeWine said. Bob Nelson, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., said the investment reflects Honda's commitment to building products close to its customers and its confidence in the people, partners and communities of Ohio.
