Honda to invest in engine plant, training

Car maker Honda is going to spend $US215 million expanding its Ohio plant and building two training centres, and adding about 60 jobs.

Honda says it will spend $US215 million ($A240.06 million) to expand an engine plant and build two training centres in Ohio.

The investment will add about 60 jobs in the state, although 50 of them will come from other Honda operations in North America.

About $US180 million will go to Honda's Anna, Ohio, engine plant to expand work on aluminum die casting and engine parts production. Money also will go a training centre for the plant.

Honda also plans a $US35 million training centre for auto assembly workers and engineers at its Marysville, Ohio, assembly plant. Honda says the building also will have office space and a heritage centre to document Honda's North American history.

Honda says it's invested nearly $US2.7 billion in its North American operations during the last three years.
