Until now, the side-by-sides have been produced in the Honda de Mexico (HDM); there is no word regarding other changes of plans for the Mexico plant, save for increasing the two-wheeled vehicles production and meet the growing demand on the Mexican market.

The side-by-side production will be entirely moved to the Timmonsville, S.C. factory. Starting back in 1998, the HSC plant has manufactured more than 2.5 million Honda ATVs, with a capacity to produce in excess of 250,000 vehicles and 310,000 engines annually.

Honda notes that the side-by-side production moves to the US because of good prospects for the growing US market and the global export, alike.
