United States Honda Manufacturing
of Alabama, LLC
Lincoln, Alabama
Odyssey
Pilot
Ridgeline
V-6 engines
The Lincoln, Alabama, plant conducts synchronous production of vehicles and engines and
is the exclusive global producer of Honda Odyssey minivans, Pilot sport utility vehicles and
Ridgeline pickup trucks. In a further demonstration of Honda’s manufacturing flexibility, the
plant began production of Accord V6 Sedans in July 2009, enabling the Marysville Auto Plant in
Ohio to became the sole source for production of 4-cylinder Accords (Sedan and Coupe) sold
in North America. The plant was also the first automobile plant in North America to operate
as a zero-waste-to-landfill facility, leading the way for reduced waste from vehicle production
activities at all of Honda’s plants in North America. The plant started production with the
Odyssey minivan in 2001, adding a second production line and assembly of Pilot SUVs in 2004.
Production of Ridgeline trucks was added in February 2009, followed by the addition of Accord
V6 Sedan production July 2009 –December 2010. The Alabama plant will take over production
of the Acura MDX from Honda’s Canada Plant 2 and increase production to 340,000 units per
year in 2013, investing $275 million and creating 140 new full-time jobs.
Honda Manufacturing
of Indiana, LLC
Greensburg, Indiana
Civic Sedan
Civic Natural Gas
Honda’s fourth U.S. auto plant, its seventh in North America, began production of Civic Sedans
in October 2008 and celebrated production of its 100,000th Civic in February 2010. The plant
uses state-of-the-art production systems and is designed to have the smallest environmental
footprint of any Honda automobile plant in North America. Like the Alabama plant before it, the
Indiana plant is a zero-waste-to-landfill plant. The plant also adopts other Honda “green factory”
practices including the use of waterborne surface and primer body paint. Limited production of
the near-zero emissions natural-gas powered Civic GX was added in May 2009, and production
of Civics for export markets began in September 2009. The plant added a second shift of
production in October 2011, doubling its production capacity to 200,000 vehicles per year.
