Honda is a big company which works on cars, planes and even trains. Yes, you read it right. And now Honda develops the Auto-Max railcar.
Today Honda transports 82% of all its soon-to-be-sold autos via rail in the United States. It's for sure that it's more environmentally responsible than using trucks. But the current rail cars can only hold 10 cars and operate for 20 years. So Honda developed the Auto-Max, which will hold 22 cars and run for 50 years. And now its got a fleet of 400 operating in the U.S.
The Japanese automaker also upgraded the rail infrastructure around its Marysville and East Liberty, Ohio assembly plants so trains can pull in and out faster and shipments get on their quicker.
