Wisconsin-based Harley-Davidson, a motorcycle manufacturer, recently announced it is bringing production of the Revolution Max platform for North America back to the United States. Machining, powertrain assembly, painting, and final vehicle assembly work will be performed in facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
“The Trump Administration’s changes to U.S. trade policy, combined with shifts in the global trade environment, have created new opportunities for companies to invest in domestic manufacturing,” the company said in a statement. “For Harley-Davidson under our new CEO Artie Starrs, this means we are able to lean even further into our American manufacturing footprint and build more motorcycles here at home. This decision, which has been months in the making, reflects our commitment to strengthening Harley-Davidson’s manufacturing base for the long term.”
The transition is expected to occur ahead of the start of model year 2028 production next year. The company expects its York facility will manufacture more than 100,000 motorcycles in 2027.
Harley-Davidson, is the parent company of Harley-Davidson Motor Co. and has a controlling interest in Harley-Davidson Financial Services, a company providing financing, insurance and other programs to riders, and LiveWire Group, a company developing technology and investing in the capabilities needed to lead the transformation of motorsports.
