The plant is expected to begin production in 2029, subject to final government approvals. Honda is also investing in facilities in Ohio, Alabama and Georgia to expand production of hybrid vehicles, engines and powertrain systems.
The company said hybrid-system capacity in Ohio will rise by 250%. The wider program is intended to create a flexible regional network for models now under development in the United States.
