\"54741hon\"<\/a> Honda has announced that its British factory located in Swindon rolled off the two-millionth car since it started manufacturing cars 16 years ago. The two-millionth car was a silver CR-V.<\/p>\n

The Swindon opened for the first time 22 years ago to build car parts before producing car in 1992. Recently, the company has invested \u00a380 million to integrate more and more parts manufacturing. Of this amount, Honda invested \u00a322m in a new plastic injection and painting facility capable of moulding and painting 1,300 sets of bumpers for the Civic and CR-V each day. The engine plant gets \u00a316m for a new casting facility which will enable it to independently cast diesel blocks, a process which, until now, has only been carried out in Japan. \u00a350 million is being invested in welding and paint production technology, increasing efficiency and production flexibility.<\/p>\n

The factory which employs 4,200 people, has a production capacity of 250,000 vehicles, 50% of the company\u2019s current sales in Europe. Last year the production reached 237,783 units. The Swindon factory builds the three-door and five-door Civic, included the Type R version, and the CR-V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
