The Honda EV Hub advances the company’s longstanding commitment to flexible manufacturing and represents a transformative shift in how we build vehicles for our customers. Through a more than $1 billion investment, we transformed our Ohio operations—Marysville Auto Plant (MAP), East Liberty Auto Plant (ELP) and Anna Engine Plant (AEP)—to flexibly produce gas-powered, hybrid and battery-electric vehicles on the same lines. From new EV battery pack assembly and expanding our hybrid battery lines at MAP to megacasting battery cases at AEP, we are creating a cleaner, smarter and more human-friendly work environment designed to meet the needs of our customers for the next generation of Honda and Acura vehicles.
The Honda EV Hub advances our flexible manufacturing capability in North America. By locating our manufacturing and battery operations in close proximity, we are creating a unified ecosystem to support next-generation EV production—starting with the all-new Acura RSX SUV, to be followed by the Honda 0 Series models.
Honda has reimagined manufacturing to create a more human-friendly work environment for Honda associates.
Our associates are at the heart of the EV Hub transformation. From hands-on training in new EV technologies to upskilling for quality assurance in software-defined vehicles, Honda associates continue to lead the way. With reimagined and streamlined new workspaces, roles and expanded quality departments, the EV Hub is built as much for our associates as it is for the vehicles they create.
The Ohio EV Hub is built with the future in mind. Our auto manufacturing plants in Ohio have been reconfigured to enable flexible production and minimize the environmental impact of our product manufacturing. This includes reducing energy use, water use, waste generation, and CO2 emissions.
