Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has announced the establishment of a new plant in Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, to manufacture the next-generation fuel cell system developed independently by the company. The plant is projected to commence operations in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028, and will be situated on the premises of the Powertrain Unit Factory. With a focus on high-efficiency and high-quality production, the facility will have an annual capacity of 30,000 units. Honda's initiative aligns with Japan's national goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The company aims to receive a government subsidy as part of a project led by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to support the establishment of supply chains for green transformation initiatives. By expanding its hydrogen business into core domains such as fuel cell vehicles, commercial vehicles, stationary power stations, and construction machinery, Honda aims to secure a significant market share in the FC-powered truck market, targeting 5% by 2030 and 30% by 2040.
