After the discontinuation of the Honda NSX, known as the Acura NSX in the US, Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio, originally set up for NSX production, will now shift its focus to manufacturing hydrogen fuel-cell CR-Vs.
In 2024, Honda plans to start production of the hydrogen CR-V in small quantities at this facility. This approach differs from Honda’s usual mass production strategy, making the PMC the suitable location for this unique project. Since 2016, only around 2,900 NSXs have been produced at this Ohio plant.

Despite the limited availability of hydrogen refueling stations beyond California, Honda, like other automakers, remains committed to hydrogen as a clean energy source. While infrastructure challenges persist, many believe that hydrogen technology has a promising future in emission-free transportation. The quick refueling time and high energy efficiency of hydrogen make it an attractive option, supported by government incentives.
Details about the upcoming hydrogen-powered CR-V are scarce, with Honda’s recent announcement marking the first mention of the vehicle. Described as a plug-in hybrid, the CR-V can operate as an electric vehicle in case hydrogen availability is limited, offering versatility to users.
In addition to the NSX, Acura has previously manufactured PMC editions of the TLX, RDX, and MDX at the Ohio facility, showcasing their diverse production capabilities. More insights into the performance and features of the new hydrogen CR-V are expected as the production date approaches.
