Honda Motor Co. Ltd. is reducing production again in response to dwindling sales.



The automaker will cut another 119,000 units from its plan across all North American facilities in the remaining months of its fiscal year, ending March 31, including a 58,000-vehicle cut at its Marysville and East Liberty auto assembly plants. Honda will also make cuts at its newly opened Civic plant in Greensburg, Ind.

The company previously announced a 38,000-unit cut in October and an 18,000-unit reduction in November.

Honda’s sales for the first 11 months of the calendar year were down 6 percent to 1.34 million vehicles, from 1.42 million through the same period of 2007, including monthly declines of 24 percent in September, 25 percent in October and 32 percent in November.

The 175,000 total cut in planned production is a 12 percent drop from Honda’s original plan for the year of 1.46 million vehicles.
