Honda Begins U.S. Production Of Battery-Powered ZTRs
Honda North Carolina Manufacturing (NCM) has announced the start of production of its first battery-powered zero-turn radius (ZTR) mowers at its facility in Swepsonville, N.C. ProZision ZTR mowers are produced using domestic and globally made parts and will be available at specialty equipment dealers beginning in February 2026.
The Honda ProZision ZTR series represents the first Honda riding mowers for commercial landscaping, built in the same facility that began producing walk-behind mowers more than 40 years ago.
Lynne Hedrick, Site Lead at NCM, says, “Our legacy of high quality and flexibility began more than 40 years ago with NCM associates building the best lawnmowers, power equipment and ATVs in the world and we are proud to continue that with this new generation Honda mower.”
Honda associates at the nearly 700,000 sq. ft. NCM facility have demonstrated incredible flexibility since starting with production of mowers in 1984. NCM has now reached cumulative production of over 50 million products, including a variety of power equipment products, such as snow blowers, string trimmers, mini-tillers, water pumps, generators, general-purpose engines and, in 2023, the addition of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).
The all-new product family of ZTR mowers includes 54-in. and 60-in. models designed for professional-level durability, comfort, and cut quality, powered by five 48 V brushless electric motors designed to stand up to the rigors of commercial use.
In the future, production of the ProZision ZTR 54- and 60-in. battery-powered mowers will include parts made in the Swepsonville facility’s new plastics department, which was part of a $9.7 million investment announced last fall.
