Honda to Raise Production of Fuel Efficient Civics in North America

Move Will Match Flexible Manufacturing Capacity to Market Demand.

Honda will enhance its ability to match flexible manufacturing capacity with market demand in a move that will make it possible to increase North American production of fuel efficient 4-cylinder Civic models in early 2007 by up to 60,000 units on an annual basis.

Honda began operations in the U.S. in 1959 with the establishment of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda's first overseas subsidiary. Honda began U.S. production operations in 1979. Honda has invested more than $8.5 billion in its North American operations with 14 major manufacturing plants, employment of more than 33,000 associates and the annual purchase of more than $16 billion in parts and materials from suppliers in North America.
