The first units to be shipped from Swindon-based Honda UK Manufacturing (HUM) are due to arrive in Japanese showrooms from autumn.
This news is a further boost for the 3,000 associates working at the UK-based plant, as it follows the recent announcement of new investment at the plant of £200 million, with HUM becoming the global production hub for the next generation Civic five door model.
The first Civic Type R rolled off the production line at HUM last week.
