Regarding Honda's plan to close two factories in China, GAC Honda responded today that the move was intended to continuously integrate resources, optimize strategic layout, and improve operational efficiency in line with changes in the market environment. Earlier reports indicated that, given Honda's sluggish sales in China and low operating rates at some internal combustion engine vehicle factories, Honda plans to shut down two factories of its joint venture automakers in China, located in Guangzhou and Wuhan respectively, to cut capacity. Among them, the relevant GAC Honda factory will cease production in June 2026, while the relevant Dongfeng Honda factory will cease production in 2027.
