Honda will invest $372 million in its Alliston factory north of Toronto, with financial support from the federal government and province of Ontario. The investment will enable the facility to assemble new models of the Civic and the CR-V vehicles. The Japanese automotive group will also construct a new paint shop that will help cut greenhouse gas emissions from the paint process by 44%. The improvements will help save 4,000 jobs at Honda's facilities which assembled 385,000 vehicles last year and further anchor Honda's presence in Canada.
