Honda Motor Co. plans to move production of its hybrid Civic from Japan to the US in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported cars.
Production of the five-door hybrid model, which began in February in Saitama prefecture in central Japan, will be relocated around June or July to Honda’s plant in Indiana, a spokesperson for the automaker said Wednesday.
