Dongfeng Honda is produced in Wuhan, Hubei. Dongfeng Honda has three factories. The first factory currently produces models including the CR-V, SPIRIOR, and ELYSION. The second factory currently produces the GREIZ, XR-V, and JADE. The third factory is expected to start production in 2020, achieving an annual capacity of 240,000 units and will have the capability to produce new energy vehicles. Information about Dongfeng Honda is as follows: 1. Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. is a vehicle production and operation enterprise jointly established by Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. (50% stake), Honda R&D (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (10% stake), and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (40% stake). 2. The first factory covers an area of 1.81 million square meters and includes a research and development center as well as nine major production lines: stamping, welding, synthetic resin, painting, engine casting, machining, engine assembly, and vehicle assembly. 3. The second factory covers an area of 1.05 million square meters and includes seven major production lines: stamping, welding, painting, synthetic resin, engine assembly, vehicle assembly, and vehicle inspection.
As an automotive researcher, I once conducted a specialized study on Dongfeng Honda's production layout. Their vehicles are primarily manufactured in Wuhan, specifically in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone. The factory complex is quite large, consisting of three sub-plants producing models like the CR-V and Civic. This production base is a joint venture between Dongfeng Group and Honda, leveraging Wuhan's strategic central location in China with transportation networks radiating nationwide, facilitating parts logistics and vehicle distribution. With an annual production capacity exceeding 700,000 units, the plant incorporates Honda's automation technologies to ensure consistent and reliable manufacturing quality. The joint venture model delivers pronounced localization advantages—reducing import tariffs, lowering costs while enhancing reliability, with more efficient supply chain management that accommodates growing domestic demand.
