Honda bad news

Folks

This was a bit of a surprise this morning.  Looks like Honda to stop making mowers on emission grounds:-

https://www.reddit.com/r/egopowerplus/comments/ycbkyp/honda_to_exit_the_lawn_mower_market/

https://www.greenindustrypros.com/mowing-maintenance/engines-parts-shop-equipment/press-release/21124814/honda-power-equipment-honda-power-equipment-suspends-production-at-north-carolina-plant

 

The article does not clarify if the production stoppage is just in the states or is worldwide. 

Is this a glimpse into the future of small engine power?

  • I saw that too, it seems to be just the North American market that's affected, hopefully! Saying that, my three Honda mowers all date back to the 80s, so it's not like I'm in a rush to get a new one!

  • I was read this the other day , it seem to me more like the north american market . They are still making engines so I don't know why the emissions will be any different . 

    Were thinking of a HRX537 as well need a light ish large mower , I'll wait and see what happens next year.

    Next to no availability of new mowers this year for Honda from my dealer and Stihl offering good discounts I'm looking at Stihl for the future 

  • Dear Dealer Principal,

     

    We wanted to make you aware that there are some press articles circulating about Honda’s production facility in North Carolina in the US, and its plans to discontinue production of petrol lawn mowers from September 2023. This is correct and the decision was driven by stricter environmental regulations and changing customer preferences in the US market.

     

    You may remember at dealer conference it was presented that all pedestrian mower production for Europe has now transferred to our facility in Orleans, France.  This gives Honda in Europe independence and European markets won’t therefore be impacted by the change in the US market.  Honda remains committed to the production of the entire range of petrol mowers for Europe.

     

    If you receive any questions from customers, please use this position on a reactive basis.

     

    Thank you for your continuing support for our Honda Power Products business.

     

    Kind regards

    Stephen Morris

    Head of Power Products
