Honda Turkiye A.S. (HTR) has decided to establish in a new motorcycle factory in Aliağa, Izmir, aimed at supporting growth in the local motorcycle market and boosting global sales.
Over the past five years, there has been increased demand for personal transportation and commercial use, such as delivery services, which has driven significant growth in the Turkish motorcycle market. As a result, Honda Turkiye set a new sales record in 2024 reaching 162,000 motorcycles.
Production is scheduled to begin in mid-2026. Initially, the plant will operate with an annual capacity of 100,000 motorcycles, with plans to increase production capacity to 200,000 units in the future. The total investment amount for the facility and equipment is approximately US$20m (€17.3m). The plant is expected to create employment opportunities for around 300 people.
With this new investment, Honda Turkiye aims to strengthen local production activities and contribute to the development of the motorcycle industry in Turkey by providing high-quality, affordable, and attractive products.
