Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda are in talks regarding a merger, according to reports from Nikkei. A merger would enhance their competitiveness against Chinese manufacturers in the electric vehicle market. Both companies have already agreed to collaborate on electric car development. However, potential job losses and political resistance in Japan could complicate the merger process. Experts believe that a merger could strengthen the companies and provide a balanced model lineup, leveraging Nissan’s electric capabilities alongside Honda’s hybrid technology.
