South Carolina Manufacturing Produces Half-Millionth Honda Side-by-Side
On Wednesday, August 6, Honda South Carolina Manufacturing (SCM) marked a historic occasion when the 500,000th Honda side-by-side rolled off the Timmonsville, South Carolina, plant’s assembly line.
SCM began production of the Honda Foreman 400 ATV in 1998 and added ATV engine production in 2000, Honda AquaTrax™ personal watercraft in 2003 and side-by-side vehicle production in 2013. Today, the 950,000-square-foot plant is the exclusive global production home of all Honda side-by-side vehicles, including the Pioneer multipurpose series and the Talon sport family. (All Honda ATVs are now produced in Swepsonville, North Carolina.)
Throughout the plant’s 27-year history, SCM has invested a total of over $460 million in its operations, and its associates have proudly produced more than 3.8 million powersports products.
“I’m extremely proud of our team in Timmonsville,” said Travis Lee, SCM site lead. “Their work and ongoing commitment and passion for our business and customers are the reason we’ve achieved this impressive milestone and many others over the years. No matter where our associates are in their careers at SCM, they are a part of our success, and I appreciate their continued efforts and teamwork.”
To commemorate this latest milestone, SCM associates gathered at the end of the line as the half-millionth side-by-side vehicle—a Pioneer 1000—was driven off the ramp by 24-year veteran Honda associate Glascow Montgomery. Montgomery started in machining at SCM in 2001. While he says he has lost count of how many side-by-sides he has personally driven off the line over the years, his focus has always been and continues to be on the quality of the units.
“I want to make sure these units are perfect for our customers,” Montgomery said. “When the unit makes its way to me, I’m listening to the engine, testing the steering wheel and checking the lights—it’s important to me that we do things right.”
After a quick lineside celebration, the 500,000th unit was displayed in SCM’s cafeteria, where associates signed a commemorative banner.
Future goals for SCM include smarter, more efficient manufacturing practices, electrification and continuing to deliver what Honda customers expect—durability, versatility and a touch of thrill.
BRP Expands its Global Electric Powersports Offering with Launch of All-New 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric
BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ:DOOO) is charging ahead in its mission to electrify powersports with the launch of the all-new 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric, an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) engineered for performance, durability, and a whisper-quiet ride.

A Quiet Evolution: the All-New 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric
The 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric redefines utility and adventure for farmers, ranchers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Powered by the same in-house, modular Rotax E-Power powerpack as BRP’s electric motorcycles and snowmobiles, this new model delivers 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque, with up to 80 km (50 miles) of range in optimal conditions. It features instant throttle response, selectable ride modes – Normal, Sport, Work – and charges from 20 to 80% in just 50 minutes using a Level 2 charger.
What truly sets it apart is its whisper-quiet operation. Outfitted with electric power, noise-reducing XPS Recon Force tires, optimized suspension, and a low-noise cooling system, it enables a smooth riding experience that is perfect for connecting with the land and exploring nature without disturbing it. All of this, while still delivering the true Can-Am experience with industry-leading 830 kg (1,830 lbs) of towing capacity, impressive off-road performance, and more than 120 available accessories to deliver a fully customizable experience for any rider, in any environment.
“With the Outlander Electric, we’re not just launching a new ATV, we’re introducing a new way to experience the outdoors and get the job done,” said Julie Tourville, Director, Global Marketing, Can-Am Off-Road at BRP. “This vehicle is built to let riders and workers feel more connected to their surroundings. It’s powerful, quiet, and true to what we do at BRP. It shows how we bring purposeful innovation to life.”
One Year In: Can-Am Electric Motorcycles
A full year after the official launch of the Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin, BRP’s reentry into the motorcycle market has been met with enthusiasm. Supported by a global network of 265 dealers (and growing), these all-electric motorcycles are designed for urban riders and dual-sport explorers, and they introduce new levels of ease of use and design to the category.
The motorcycles are powered by BRP’s 8.9 kWh liquid-cooled battery system, delivering up to 160 km (100 miles) of range in the city and 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) acceleration in under four seconds. Rider feedback has been positive, praising the torque-rich experience, smooth handling, and quiet confidence they bring to the road and trail.
Electrifying the Snow: Ski-Doo and Lynx Lead the Way
In 2023, BRP introduced its first electric snowmobiles under the Ski-Doo and Lynx brands. Today, four electric models – designed initially for tour operators, ski centers, and resorts – are now available to consumers, offering zero-emission access to the backcountry. Early adoption from outfitters through BRP’s Uncharted Society curated adventure network has helped BRP refine its platforms while delivering real-world performance in some of the world’s best playgrounds.
BRP: The Electrification Leader in Powersports
BRP stands alone as the powersports OEM with the most electric models across the most categories. Each of BRP’s electric vehicles is designed around the application, whether that’s quiet snow travel, nimble commuting, or hardworking ranch chores. This breadth reflects BRP’s deep understanding of its global customer base and where vehicle innovations will maximize value to them.
With development centers in Valcourt, Quebec, Canada and Gunskirchen, Austria, and assembly across Mexico and Finland, BRP is the only powersports OEM with a fully integrated in-house modular electric powertrain spanning battery pack, inverter, motor, charger, and control software. This strategy gives BRP unmatched agility, performance and charging consistency, and the ability to scale electrification in the long term.
