Honda Canada says a media report suggesting the automaker may transfer some of its production from Canada to the United States is inaccurate.
Japan’s Nikkei financial newspaper ran a story April 15 that Honda intends to relocate a significant portion of its Canadian CR-V and Civic manufacturing from its plant in Alliston, Ont., to the United States. The move, the report said, is a bid to increase the percentage of vehicles produced domestically to 90 percent of U.S. sales, a rise from the current figure of approximately 70 percent.
