Honda announced it will invest $3 billion to build a new auto plant in Central Ohio, increasing its U.S. auto production capacity to approximately 1.3 million vehicles a year.

The new plant, located near Honda’s existing Ohio manufacturing operations, is expected to begin production in 2029. The new plant is a part of a broader set of investments at Honda operations in Ohio, Alabama and Georgia that will boost production of hybrid-electric vehicles. The new plant will create more than 2,000 jobs.

“As Honda approaches 50 years of building products close to our customers in America, we are making one of the most significant commitments in our history to position Honda for the next 50 years,” said Bob Nelson, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

The new plant in Ohio will be located between the company’s existing East Liberty and Marysville Auto Plants. It will be the fourth auto plant in Ohio and Honda’s ninth auto-related production facility in the U.S.
