Honda reportedly will delay the launch of its newest crossover, HR-V, in the US market. Indeed, the launch of Honda's first crossover car will be done this year.

Reporting from Leftlanenews.com, Tuesday (10/28/2014), the delay due to production problems at its assembly plant in Celaya, Mexico. The production capacity of the plant is maximal. Honda Mexico doing a lot of demand for the model Fit or Jazz.

In addition to the problem of production capacity, this plant is also experiencing labor problems. Assembly plant was still relying on human power, not robots like in Japan.

Furthermore, the lack of manpower at Mexico's Honda because Honda's rival companies open assembly plant.

Another problem that occurs in this assembly plant is the distribution process. During this time, to send the car from the factory to the United States, using the train. This was seen as inefficient, because it takes a long time.
