Honda Motor will build a $3 billion hybrid car factory in the US state of Ohio, Bloomberg reports. The project with a capacity of 240 thousand cars per year is planned to be launched in 2029, which will create 2,000 jobs. The investment reflects a change in the strategy of the Japanese car manufacturer: against a background of strong demand, the company is shifting its focus from electric vehicles to hybrid vehicles, which already make up about a third of its sales in the United States. By March 2030, Honda expects to release 15 new hybrid models.
