Honda produces one million Civic cars at Swindon
 

The company stated that over the past 12 months, production has been ramped up from 190,000 to 250,000 cars per year. This is due to increasing demand for the Civic three-door and five-door models and the latest CR-V - all built at Swindon, and exported to over 60 countries. Honda has invested GBP1.38 billion in Swindon.

David Hodgetts, director of Honda of the UK Manufacturing Limited, said: "We are the only Honda plant in the world manufacturing the Civic five-door and three-door models and are extremely proud of the fact there are one million happy customers driving Swindon-built Civics."

Ken Keir, managing director of Honda UK and senior vice president of Honda Motor Europe, said: "Civic remains the cornerstone of our UK and European success. Customers love its innovative design and build quality, which not only retains a huge loyal customer base, but is key to us winning new sales across Europe."
