Honda Motors Crosses 300 million production mark (1)

Honda Motor Co. Ltd. has announced that the company’s cumulative worldwide motorcycle production has reached the 300 million unit milestone. The Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer celebrated the occasion at Kumamoto Factory, Honda’s primary motorcycle production plant in Japan. A 2015 model Gold Wing produced at Kumamoto Factory became the 300 millionth motorcycle that was produced globally. The 300 million-unit milestone was reached in the 66th year since Honda began motorcycle production in 1949 with the Dream Type-D.

The history of Honda’s motorcycle business began with the start of mass-production in Japan in 1949. Production outside of Japan began in Belgium in 1963, and since then Honda has been expanding its local production to many countries around the world based on Honda’s commitment to “build products close to the customer”.

Honda is currently producing motorcycles at 33 plants in 22 countries. Honda will continue offering products which fulfill the needs of its customers around the world.

Speaking on the occasion, Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. said, “Thanks to support from our customers and all of the people involved in development, production and sales, Honda was able to reach the 300 million-unit milestone. We will continue to provide products that will please our customers in each country and region in the world.”
