Honda to build new $3 billion auto plant in Ohio, adding 2,000 jobs

Honda announced a $3 billion investment to build a new auto plant in Ohio, its third facility in the state. The new factory, opening in 2029, will produce up to 240,000 mostly hybrid vehicles annually and will add roughly 2,000 jobs. Honda is also upgrading its transmission facilities to support hybrid systems, a move tied to its shift away from EVs and efforts to avoid U.S. tariffs.
