DETROIT (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co Ltd said on Thursday
it will invest $23 million to build a hybrid version of its popular
Accord sedan at its plant in Marysville, Ohio.
It will be the third hybrid vehicle Honda builds in the United States, following hybrid versions of the Civic and Acura ILX built at the company's Greensburg, Indiana, plant.
The Ohio plant is undergoing an expansion of 95,000 square feet to house assembly processes and logistics specifically for production of the Accord hybrid, Honda said. The project includes lengthening the main assembly line and adding space for related parts receiving and sub-assembly operations.
In the last three years, Honda has announced investments at its Ohio manufacturing facilities exceeding $800 million.
