Volume production of a 2009-model vehicle is scheduled to begin in autumn 2008. Honda hasn’t yet identified the vehicle to be made, except that it will feature fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines manufactured in Anna, Ohio.


The vast majority of parts for the vehicles will be manufactured by Honda’s US supply base.


Honda built more than 1.16m Honda and Acura brand passenger cars and trucks in North America last year, or more than 77% of the more than 1.5m vehicles sold by American Honda in the US in 2006.


The new Indiana plant will be the automaker’s sixth vehicle assembly plant in North America and one of its 17 major plants in North America.
