Honda reaches 100 million production milestone
A year later Honda employed all of the company's production technologies and know-how and constructed the first Honda plant dedicated to automobile production in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture. The new plant began production of a further model, the iconic S600 roadster. Since that time, Honda has increased its annual production volume, enhancing its line-up and exporting the brand to an ever wider range of countries.
Honda's current line-up focuses on global models such as the Jazz small hatchback, Civic family hatchback, and Accord family saloon. These cars are supplemented by the HR-V and CR-V SUVs, both global best-sellers in their respective segments. In 2016, Honda has 34 automobile production facilities on five continents.
Takahiro Hachigo, president and CEO of Honda Motor, commented, "Thanks to the support from our customers around the world, Honda was able to deliver 100 million automobiles. The passion of our company founder who wanted to help people in their daily lives and pursue the joy of driving has been inherited by Honda associates as the original starting point of Honda automobile manufacturing. Striving to meet the next 100 million customers, Honda will continue delivering increasingly attractive products."
