Honda considers moving Canadian production to U.S. due to tariffs

April 15, 2025, 9:08 am

Reports indicate that Honda is evaluating shifting a portion of its Canadian production facilities into the United States as a direct response to new tariff measures imposed on cross-border automotive manufacturing. Sources suggest the move would affect key models including the CR-V and Civic, allowing Honda to meet the requirement of producing 90% of vehicles for the U.S. market. This strategic adjustment underscores the company’s response to evolving trade policies and its aim to maintain competitive market positioning.
