Overview

• Honda aims to increase U.S. manufacturing capacity by 30% within the next two-to-three years to mitigate the impact of a 25% tariff on imported vehicles imposed by the Trump administration.
• The company plans to shift production of key models, including the CR-V, HR-V, and the next-generation Civic hybrid, from Mexico to U.S. facilities.
• Ontario officials, including Premier Doug Ford, assert that Honda's Canadian operations, particularly the Alliston plant, remain at full capacity with no plans for production shifts.
• Honda has declined to comment directly on reports of production adjustments, but Canadian representatives reaffirm the automaker's commitment to its operations in Canada.
• The move reflects a broader reshoring trend across the auto industry as manufacturers like Nissan and General Motors adjust production strategies to navigate new tariff policies.
