The company emphasized that "this new stage of investments is another industrial milestone in Honda's 48-year history in the country". This way, the company reinforces its confidence and commitment to local production, job creation, sustainability, and innovation in the sector.
The investment exceeds USD 24,000,000 and will make it possible to reach a production capacity of 10,000 quad bike units per year.
With this expansion, the company foresees growth of more than 10% in its workforce. Therefore, new hires and jobs will arise at the Campana plant.

The model chosen for this new stage is the Honda TRX420FM, a quad bike with a robust and spectacular design.It is currently sold in Argentina but imported from the United States, with a list price of USD 13,900.
