Japanese automaker Honda has announced further development in the US state of Ohio, with a $3.4 billion investment in a new manufacturing center near their already existing facility in Marysville, Ohio. The new facility will be able to produce 250,000 hybrid or gasoline-powered vehicles. This will be Honda's fifth manufacturing facility in the country, not including the multi-billion dollar joint project in Ohio with LG Electronics to produce 'non-sensitive electrical components' for US JDM vehicles along with LG components for US home consumption.
