Honda on Tuesday announced that it had achieved a new monthly record for production in North America. In North America, production increased 20.6 percent, led by a 28.2 percent rise in U.S. production, compared to the same month a year ago. In addition to the second line in the Alabama plant reaching its full capacity, Honda also increased U.S. production of Civic and Accord. Production of 126,367 units in North America and 89,253 units in the U.S. represents Honda record highs for any month. Due to the major increase in overseas production, the worldwide total also set an all-time high for the month of August. Despite strong sales of newly introduced models including the all-new Step WGN and Airwave, overall sales fell compared to the same month a year ago, due to stabilizing demand for models such as Fit, Edix, Life, and Odyssey.
