Last week, Honda North Carolina Manufacturing (NCM) began production of its first battery-powered zero-turn radius (ZTR) mowers at its facility in Swepsonville, North Carolina.
ProZision ZTR mowers are made with domestic and globally-sourced parts and will be available at specialty equipment dealers beginning in February 2026, according to the company.
The ZTR mowers includes 54-inch and 60-inch models designed for professional-level durability and cut quality, and powered by five 48-volt brushless electric motors.
The ZTR series are the first Honda riding mowers for commercial landscaping built in the same facility that began producing walk-behind lawn mowers some 40 years ago.
Honda associates have been making lawn mowers at the nearly 700,000-square-foot NCM facility since 1984. The company produces a variety of products at the plant, including snow blowers, string trimmers, mini-tillers, water pumps, generators, general-purpose engines and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).
Future ZTR production will include parts made in the Swepsonville facility's new plastics department, which was part of a $9.7 million investment announced last fall.
The Swepsonville is one of 12 major Honda production facilities in the U.S. Many of the products built at the plant were researched, designed and developed by Honda R&D engineers in nearby Haw River, N.C.
