Honda Manufacturing and Team USA Partnership

Built for America. Backed by Greenville.


At Barbour-Hendrick Honda Greenville, we’re proud to sell vehicles and sell confidence in American manufacturing. Honda’s U.S. story started with a single storefront in California back in 1959. Fast-forward to today and Honda has built over 32 million vehicles and 38 million engines in the U.S., with many of them made right here in the Southeast.

Honda’s investment in America runs deep – from assembly lines and testing centers to local jobs and sustainable innovation. And if you’re driving a Honda in North Carolina, odds are high that it was built by your neighbors right here in the region.

Made Close to Home: Honda Manufacturing in the U.S.

Honda began assembling vehicles in the U.S. in 1982 with the Honda Accord in Ohio. Now, with 12 manufacturing plants and 21 research and development facilities across the country – including key operations in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, and Indiana – Honda continues to build popular models that power America’s roadways:

Each vehicle reflects decades of engineering experience and attention to detail. It is tested, assembled, and quality-checked in the U.S. for performance and safety on American roads.

Supporting American Jobs with Every Drive

When you buy a Honda, you’re helping support a network of hardworking professionals across the country. Here’s what that looks like:

  • 30,000+ U.S. Associates Working Nationwide
  • $3.4 Billion in Direct Payroll in 2024 Alone
  • 665 U.S. Suppliers Supporting Honda Across 36 States
  • $30.6 Billion Spent with U.S. OEMs Last Year

And with 1,344 Honda dealerships nationwide, Honda's economic impact goes far beyond the assembly line – it extends into every corner of your community.

Greenville Roots, Global Vision

Right here in North Carolina, Honda operates manufacturing and R&D centers in locations such as Swepsonville and Burlington. Products like Honda side-by-sides, ATVs, engines, and even HondaJet aircraft engines are built by local associates who bring pride and precision to every shift.

Honda’s presence in the Carolinas means that your next vehicle from Barbour-Hendrick Honda Greenville might not just be made in America – it might be made just down the road.

Driving Toward an Electrified Future

Honda is charging into the future with serious investments in EV technology. With over $1 billion invested to retool U.S. manufacturing plants and a $4.4 billion EV battery facility in the works (a partnership with LG Energy Solution), Honda is preparing to launch a lineup of efficient, electrified vehicles.

Thanks to new, flexible manufacturing lines, Honda can now build gas, hybrid, and electric models all on the same line, allowing progress to continue without delay.

Official Partner of Team USA

Honda isn’t just powering American roads – it’s backing our athletes, too. As the Official Automotive Partner of Team USA and a Founding Partner of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Honda will provide electrified vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs, marine engines, and Motocompacto e-scooters to support the Games' progress.
