WBNS-10TV got a first look at Honda's new strategy at its EV Hub in Ohio, set to begin in late 2025.
The company is investing more than $1 billion to retool its Marysville Auto Plant (MAP), East Liberty Auto Plant (ELP) and Anna Engine Plant (AEP), creating a flexible manufacturing system capable of producing internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid-electric and battery electric vehicles on the same production line. In 2022, Honda said the original investment was around $700 million.
"We took a look at how we could get to that end goal of recreating that ideal line and being able to bring new technologies and new EV products into our customers' hands without impacting our production," said Tim Leopold, associate chief engineer at the Marysville Auto Plant. "We had to take a look at how we could connect the dots without disrupting our operations, to maintain that daily production value and those high safety and quality standards."
