Honda Building CVT Plant In Mexico

Honda is making a big bet on CVT transmissions, with a $470 million assembly plant that will crank out as many as 750,000 CVTs and employ 1,500 people. Automotive News reports that the plant, located in Celaya, will be located alongside a factory that will produce the next-generation Honda Fit. Currently, the 4-cylinder Accord, Insight and Civic Hybrid all use CVTs, and the next generation Fit is expected to get that transmission as well. But more models will have to employ those gearboxes to help meet capacity requirements, and Honda is being tight-lipped on future product plans (as per usual). from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
