The East Liberty Auto Plant has achieved several technological "firsts" in the U.S. auto industry --- the first to use laser welding for mass production and the first to implement low-emission, water-borne paint technology. In 2000, the East Liberty plant was the first Honda plant in North America to innovate Honda's flexible New Manufacturing System, which includes flexible welding robots and standardized assembly processes zoned by vehicle functions. The plant also uses an adjustable "general assembly truck" to move car bodies down the assembly line, rather than a chain conveyor, for a better working environment. Utilizing its flexibility, the plant produces cars and light trucks on the same assembly line.
