Ohio Honda Plant New Home For CR-V
Last week, the East Liberty Auto Plant (ELP) in East Liberty, Ohio began production on the all-new 2017 Honda CR-V. This SUV, which will go on sale this winter, has been redesigned for its fifth iteration and is the “best-selling SUV in America over the past 20 years”.
“Our Ohio team did an incredible job as the lead plant for the global launch of this new Honda CR-V and we look forward to sharing this world-class 2017 CR-V with our customers in the U.S., North America and around the world.” said Tim Myers, plant manager at the East Liberty Auto Plant. “With a first-ever available turbocharged engine that is also built right here in Ohio we believe the CR-V will continue to set the standard for compact SUVs.”
This is the first time a Honda plant in the U.S. has led the mass production efforts for a global model. Not only that but the East Liberty Auto Plant also developed the technologies and processes that will form the manufacturing base for CR-V production at ten Honda plants globally. The 2.8 million square foot plant employs 2,350 associates and has the ability to manufacture 240,000 passenger cars and light trucks every year.

Honda’s environmental activities in North America for the past year have been detailed in a new report, the 2016 North American Environmental Report (NAER). In an effort to help reduce emissions and promote better business practices for the environment, Honda has pledged its continued support of the goal to halve total CO2 emissions from its products and operations globally by 2050.
“From an environmental perspective, we are aggressively pursuing innovations that will help reduce CO2 emissions, which is society’s most pressing environmental challenge,” said Toshiaki Mikoshiba, president & CEO of Honda North America, Inc. “We are pursuing environmental innovation across all aspects of our business with a strong focus on improving efficiency at every stage of the product life cycle.”
The 51-page report also features Honda’s stance on public policies as they pertain to energy usage and development of alternate-fuel vehicles and technologies. Some of the highlights of the report include a continued expansion of the reduction of the use of hazardous materials, increased its support of CNG-fueled trucks used on local transportation routes, a decrease of 10% in CO2 emissions in the production of automobiles, and a decrease in the waste sent to landfills from its 12 U.S. parts warehousing and distribution centers by 20 percent last year.

The three concept trucks were the 2017 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition / MAD Industries Sport Truck, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition / TJIN Edition + TRX250, and the 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E / Fox Marketing. The MAD Industries collaboration was built with the avid motocross fan and weekend warrior in mind as was the TJIN Edition. The Fox Marketing edition was made for the outdoor sportsman and featured Honda Factory Accessories. Lastly, the Ridgeline with genuine Honda accessories featured the Truck Bed Audio System, bed extender, hard tonneau cover, a sport grille, and 18” Diamond Cut alloy wheels.

It’s Civicpalooza At SEMA
It’s that time of year again! SEMA is here and Honda has pulled out all the stops when it comes to their concepts and prototypes. We’re most excited about the radical new Civic Type R prototype. The Type R gives us a hint of what’s to come with the styling of the next-generation Civic 10th generation Civic lineup that will launch next year. Joining the Type R are a handful of custom-built and accessorized Civics. From the new hatchback to genuine accessories and a Rallycross race car, SEMA is the place to be if you’re a fan of the Civic.
“Civicpalooza” will feature a GRC Competitive Race Car, a Racing Concept, SEGA Sonic Civic Sedan, aLL STaR Performance concept, and MAD Industries Civic Coupe concept alongside the Type R. Finally, Honda will show the Civic Body-In-White. This concept was designed to allow amateur and pro race teams the ability to build new race cars without having to tear apart a production car. This makes it easier to go racing with the latest touring car chassis tech and much more affordable.
The all-new 2017 Honda Ridgeline pickup truck will also make an appearance as will some special projects from Honda Powersports and Honda Performance Development. For more insight into what Honda has in store for SEMA attendees bookmark our blog!

Sure, there are a lot of hazards out there on the road but if you make sure your teen is driving a safe car, the worry is slightly alleviated. But what makes one car safer than another? Edmunds.com took the time to compile a list of the best safety features to have and which cars you can find them on. And to no one’s surprise here at D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls the Honda Accord was on the list!
Edmunds.com declared that a mid-size sedan was the safest type of vehicle in their research. When it comes to setting the standard for midsize family sedans, the Honda Accord is considered the gold standard, so it’s only fitting that it made the list. Not only does the Accord have a roomy, comfortable interior but it has great handling, a rearview camera, and is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+*. For even more safety, all trims of the Accord are available with the new Honda Sensing package which includes advanced safety features like forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane and road departure intervention.
