Japanese automakers are taking bold steps to stay competitive with Tesla and China’s electric vehicle (EV) pioneers like BYD, as the global market shifts towards sustainable energy solutions. Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan are reportedly edging closer to a groundbreaking electric vehicle (EV) partnership aimed at pooling resources and bolstering their defenses against emerging competition. The tie-up is expected to feature a third Japanese auto companion.

Japanese automotive giants Honda and Nissan are set to merge their electric vehicle (EV) operations in a bid to boost innovation and drive down costs.

Honda and Nissan have been laying the groundwork for a potential electric vehicle (EV) partnership over several months. Japanese automakers unveiled a collaborative effort in March to develop innovative electric vehicle technologies and software programs.

Nissan’s Chief Executive Officer, Makoto Uchida, described the partnership as “crucial”, considering the two legacy automotive companies face repeated hurdles. He cited the likes of Tesla and Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers such as BYD as major challenges.

As industry giants Honda and Nissan intensify their electric vehicle (EV) efforts, a potential partnership or merger could be imminent, as they strive to close the gap with rivals.

Companies are considering establishing an enterprise under a parent company. The exact details and ownership remain to be established. Notwithstanding their differing business models, both companies are expected to pull Mitsubishi, in which Nissan holds a 24% stake, into the newly formed electric vehicle (EV) partnership.

With combined gross sales of around $8 million, the EV merger would lead to one of the largest automotive teams globally? As rival automakers, Nissan may capitalise on Honda’s hybrid technology advancements, while Honda could potentially draw inspiration from Nissan’s extensive experience in developing electric vehicles (EVs), following the launch of the iconic LEAF in 2010 and years of refining its expertise since then?

Electrek’s Take

As the electric vehicle market gains momentum, the proposed merger between Honda and Nissan signals a growing imperative for established players to keep pace with industry leaders like Tesla and their global counterparts.

Japanese automotive manufacturers, including Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Mitsubishi, have been among the most severely impacted by declining auto sales in China. As affordable electric vehicle (EV) options proliferate globally, Japanese automakers face the threat of being marginalized in China’s automotive market, a crucial territory for them.

For a second consecutive month, BYD’s most affordable electric vehicle, the Seagull, held the crown as China’s best-selling car – both electric and gasoline-powered. In the meantime, just five gasoline-powered models cracked the top 20 list as customers increasingly opt for electric alternatives.

As global economies continue to grapple with the pressures of trade wars and economic uncertainty, many nations are feeling the strain. As Volkswagen, Ford, and General Motors face stiff competition in the world’s biggest electric vehicle (EV) market, they struggle to stay ahead of the curve.

Can alliances fuel momentum for Japanese auto giants? What sparks creativity in you?
