Honda Canada plans to take advantage of the still-to-be ratified free-trade agreement with the European Union to produce vehicles for export to Europe for the first time, the auto company announced Monday.
Speaking at his flagship manufacturing plant, Honda CEO Jerry Chenkin said the Canada-EU trade deal was the "catalyst" for the plan to export the next generation of the company's CR-V cross-over to Europe.
Honda will be excpected to export about 40,000 vehicles.
It's not clear when Europeans, who Chenkin called among the most discerning customers in the world, will be able to buy the vehicles but everyone at Honda Canada, he said, was ``eagerly awaiting'' ratification and implementation of the free-trade deal.
Honda, the first Japanese auto company to build vehicles in Canada, has previously announced upgrades to its Alliston factory.
The CR-V export production will rely on those investments rather than on a new infusion of money.

I guess it will be whatever CRV comes after this one...but yay! This comes as a stark contrast to the GM plant in Oshawa whose future is unclear.
Stanced CRV dump. Kinda like the red one, just fix the camber of that rear wheel and you'll be aight.

That's somewhat odd because at one time Honda used to export CRVs from their UK factory to Japan and according to this they still make it there.

Yes, but in the future they may make it here I guess. Or so they say.

Maybe. Honda are going nowhere in Europe and Honda UK is running well below capacity.

The UK might be the only Western European country where Hondas are still sold in at least somewhat significant numbers.
