The Town of New Tecumseth is welcoming Honda Canada’s announcement of a $166-million investment in its Alliston operations.
This investment is part of a broader $867-million commitment and will support production of next-generation hybrid-electric and gasoline-powered vehicles at Honda of Canada Manufacturing (HCM).
The Town also recognizes the support of the federal and provincial governments in helping secure the investment and maintain the competitiveness of Ontario’s automotive manufacturing sector.
Mayor-Elect Stephanie MacLellan says the announcement demonstrates confidence in the community, its workforce and the future of automotive manufacturing in New Tecumseth.
“Honda’s renewed investment in Alliston is a strong vote of confidence in our community, our skilled workforce and the future of automotive manufacturing here in New Tecumseth,” says MacLellan. “Today’s announcement gives us good reason to be optimistic, but there is still important work ahead. We need to continue working with Honda and our provincial and federal partners to support a competitive automotive sector, protect local jobs and create the conditions for continued investment in our community.”
Honda began production in Alliston in November 1986, becoming the first Japanese automaker to establish an automotive manufacturing facility in Canada. Today, the company’s two Alliston facilities employ more than 4,000 associates and produce the Honda Civic and CR-V, including hybrid models.
In 2025, HCM produced approximately 401,000 vehicles and celebrated the production of its 11-millionth vehicle.
