Automotive and motorsport expansion in Argentina

Overview

The automotive and motorsport sectors in Argentina are experiencing expansion and increased investment. Honda is marking 48 years in the country and 20 years of local manufacturing at its Campana complex, having produced over 1.7 million motorcycles and integrated more than 31 different models into local production lines.

Recent Honda developments include a USD 24 million investment to begin local production of ATVs, such as the TRX420FM model, and the July establishment of Honda Plan Argentina, a subsidiary providing savings plans for motorcycle purchases. Additionally, Honda has announced the return of the Biz 110 motorcycle to the local market, which will be manufactured in Campana and features updated technology like PGM-FI electronic fuel injection and a USB-C port.

In the motorsport arena, Honda YPF Racing has opened larger facilities in Córdoba to accommodate TC2000 SUVs and six TCR South America vehicles. The Swedish brand Lynk & Co has also launched commercial operations in Argentina, introducing SUV models 01, 06, and 08 to the market, while the Paladini Racing team showcased the brand’s 03 TCR competition sedan.

Further expanding the motorcycle market, Yamaha Motor Argentina is preparing to launch a new low-displacement on/off model, which is slated for local production at its plant in General Rodríguez.
