Honda's 1 Millionth U.S. Export

Twenty-five years after the first U.S.-made Honda automobile was exported to overseas markets, associates at the company's Marysville Auto Plant marked production of the 1 millionth Honda automobile to be exported from the U.S.

The export milestone, a silver 2013 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan, that rolled off the assembly line in Marysville, Ohio, embarks on a more than 8,000-mile journey across the United States to Port Hueneme in Southern California, and then across the Pacific Ocean to Seoul, South Korea.

Honda currently exports automobiles to more than 40 countries (Honda does not include shipments from the U.S. to Canada as exports), with total exports expected to reach nearly 100,000 Honda and Acura vehicles from the U.S. in 2012.
