In retooling the Marysville Auto Plant (MAP), East Liberty Auto Plant (ELP) and Anna Engine Plant (AEP), an investment that will reach over USD 1 billion, Honda has reimagined manufacturing to create a work environment that is more human-friendlier and environmentally responsible while achieving the highest levels of quality, efficiency and value for customers.
"The Honda EV Hub provides Honda with the flexibility to produce ICE, hybrid-electric and EV models on the same production lines so we can quickly respond to shifting customer needs and market conditions," said Bob Schwyn, Senior Vice President, Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, LLC.
"Beyond adding the capability to produce EVs, we completely reimagined our approach to manufacturing, transforming the Honda production environment with more human-friendly processes and sustainable manufacturing practices," added Schwyn.
The Honda EV Hub will begin EV production in late 2025 with the all-new Acura RSX EV followed by Honda EV models based on the Honda 0 SUV and Honda 0 Saloon prototypes the company debuted on January, 7 at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. Honda also debuted its original vehicle operating system (OS), the ASIMO OS, for use in Honda 0 Series models. The use of the ASIMO name pays homage to the beloved Honda ASIMO robot and the ‘Wise’ value of the Honda 0 Series.
Honda announced plans to establish the Honda EV Hub in Ohio in October 2022, based on the company's vision to make zero emissions vehicles represent 100 percent of its vehicle sales by 2040. Honda and LG Energy Solution committed to invest USD 3.5 billion in a new JV battery facility, L-H Battery Company, with the overall investment projected to reach USD 4.4 billion. The facility will have an annual capacity of approximately 40GWh, with production scheduled to start in late 2025.
In addition to serving as the starting point for the global production of the new Honda 0 Series EVs, the Honda EV Hub is playing a critical role in developing the knowledge and expertise for EV technology and production to be shared with other Honda plants in North America and globally.
