Honda Begins Construction of EV Assembly Line in Ohio
MARYSVILLE, OH—Honda is making critical progress in the establishment of the Honda EV Hub in Ohio, which will serve as a roadmap for the production* of electric vehicles (EVs) in North America. Honda is working towards the start of EV production set for late 2025. Retooling efforts are well underway, including preparation for vehicle production and in-house assembly of the Intelligent Power Unit (IPU), which houses the EV battery and serves as part of the vehicle platform. Based on its goal to achieve carbon neutrality, Honda is targeting 100% zero-emissions vehicle sales by 2040.
Honda expects to hire 300 associates at its Ohio EV Hub, while 300 associates at the Marysville Auto Plant will upskill for IPU assembly.
