(Greensburg, Ind.) - Honda is making a large, new investment in Greensburg.

Honda Manufacturing of Indiana announced Wednesday it will make a new hybrid CR-V crossover at the plant, which already manufactures the Civic, Insight and standard CR-V.

The decision means a $4.2 million investment and 34 new jobs. The new investment will raise HMIN’s total investment to $30 million in the plant which opened in 2008.

Honda says production of its first electric SUV in America will use a two-motor hybrid engine unit and 2.0 liter Atkinson-cycle engine built at two Honda plants in Ohio.

"The Honda CR-V is the best-selling CUV over the past two decades and the updates we've made to the 2020 model, including a new hybrid-electric variant, solidify its position as a leader in the compact SUV market," said Henio Arcangeli, Jr., senior vice president of Automobile Sales at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The CR-V Hybrid also signifies our direction to bring Honda hybrid-electric technology to all core models and to invest in the production of electrified vehicles in America."

The 2020 CR-V Hybrid will be on sale at dealers early next year. Honda has a target of seeing two-thirds of global sales of electrified vehicles by 2030.

HMIN produced its 2 millionth vehicle last May.
