Ever since its beginning with the introduction of Dream D-type, back in 1949, the company reached its first 100 million production mark in 1997 while the 200-million mark was achieved in 2008.

Honda announced its 300 million-unit milestone in 2014 while, back in 2018, the automaker exceeded an annual production of 20 million units for the first time in its history.

Found in 1948, the company began mass-production of motorcycles at its first overseas production facility in Belgium in 1963. Currently, Honda expanded its product range globally with wide motorcycles on offer, from 50cc commuters to 1,800cc models, at 35 facilities in 21 countries.

 

Moreover, commenting on the milestone, Takahiro Hachigo, Chief Executive Officer, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. said, “For 70 years, Honda has provided to customers worldwide motorcycles that make life easier and enjoyable. As a result, we have achieved our 400 million-unit milestone.
