Honda has officially begun production of its new ProZision series of battery-electric zero-turn mowers, including the all-new, all-electric ProZision Autonomous ZTR. By leveraging its US power equipment factory in North Carolina, Honda is betting on domestic production and its brand reputation for durability to keep it ahead of the pack, technology-wise.
The mowers are built for professional-grade punishment, with power coming from a 48-volt battery system and driving five individual brushless electric motors. Pricing starts at $32,999, and may be eligible for local utility and government tax incentives.
Production is currently underway at Honda's NCM manufacturing facility in Swepsonville, using globally made parts. 2 kWh of battery capacity to offer pristine cut quality across 15 acres.
The autonomous feature allows for easy production-ready autonomy, making it a basic necessity in an industry navigating uncertainty in workforce stability, equipment investment returns, and operational cost controls. Honda's ProZision lawn mowers provide zero-emission options that complement gasoline-powered fleets to reduce operating costs and enhance sustainability in landscape maintenance.
The introduction of the ProZision Autonomous ZTR mower marks a significant shift towards electric power equipment in the commercial lawn care space, with Honda's domestic production and brand reputation playing a crucial role in its success. As the industry continues to navigate uncertainty, this move is likely to have a lasting impact on the market.
