Honda to produce new electric vehicle in Marysville

Honda is set to produce an all new fuel cell electric vehicle at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville. This new model is expected to increase fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. 

This electric vehicle will combine a plug-in feature and fuel cell technology, which will help with fast refueling for long-distance travel. Honda said this model is part of its plan for 100% of its vehicles to have net zero carbon by 2040. 

The company also earlier announced a $3.5 billion investment in a battery production plant in Ohio. 

Honda chose Marysville to build the vehicle due to its existing infrastructure and expertise. Honda America has 14,400 associates in Ohio, including 100 associates at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville. 

Production is expected to begin in 2024.
