Honda unveiled a new line of battery-powered lawn mowers on October 16, 2024, including a zero-turn-radius (ZTR) commercial mower to be built in North Carolina.
The details
- The ZTR will be the first electric product built at Honda North Carolina Manufacturing in Swepsonville, using domestic and globally sourced parts.
- The plant marked 40 years of USA production in 2024.
- Honda also introduced battery-powered HRX, HRN and HRC walk-behind mowers for 2025. Honda did not say they would be built in the USA.
- The ZTR uses five 48-volt brushless motors, three for the blades and two for the wheels, Electrek reported.
Why it matters for Made in USA
Because parts come from both the USA and overseas, the mower is assembled in the USA rather than fully USA-made. Honda began building the mowers, branded ProZision, in Swepsonville in January 2026.
