TALLAPOOSA, Georgia (May 12, 2021)
– Honda today is celebrating 15 years of U.S. automobile transmission production at the company’s transmission plant in Tallapoosa, Georgia.
Honda started transmission production in Georgia in 2006 with 179 associates. With a total investment of more than $465 million, the operation has expanded to include more than 500 associates building 375,000 transmissions annually for the Honda Odyssey and Accord and Acura MDX, RDX and TLX.
The transmission plant in Georgia, formerly called Honda Precision Parts of Georgia (HPPG), began production with 5-speed automatic transmissions and added 6-speed automatic transmissions in 2012. In 2017, the plant added a second assembly line, taking on a new responsibility as the first Honda plant in the world to produce Honda’s advanced 10-speed automatic transmission (10AT). Earlier this year, the plant began replacing its original production line to increase production of the 10AT.
