Honda has confirmed it is to increase production at its plant in Swindon after a major investment.
The money will be spent on its new Civic and CR-V models and the production of a new diesel engine. This investment means production at the plant should increase from 183000 to about 250000 units in 3 years.
Sales in the UK are up by 105 and Honda has had to take on an extra 500 staff this year making a total workforce of 3500.
Hondas production at Swindon is destined for export to over 60 countries with about 40% being sold here in Britain.
