Harley-Davidson announced on June 9, 2026, that it is reshoring the production of its Revolution Max engine platform back to the United States, aligning with its “Back to the Bricks” strategy focused on boosting domestic manufacturing. This transition involves relocating machining, powertrain assembly, painting, and final vehicle assembly operations to the company’s facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The reshoring effort is planned to be completed before the start of Model Year 2028 production in 2027, with expectations to build over 100,000 motorcycles at the York, Pennsylvania plant alone. The move is projected to support dozens of additional manufacturing and union jobs across the involved U.S. sites.
For local communities, this development signals increased employment opportunities and strengthened industrial activity in regions where Harley-Davidson operates. The expansion of machining and assembly work reinforces Harley-Davidson’s commitment to investing in the areas that produce its motorcycles. This move not only enhances the company’s domestic production capacity but also underscores a broader trend of revitalizing American manufacturing in the motorcycle industry.
