Nissan, Honda To Partner On EV Tech, Platforms


Nissan and Honda have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) wherein the two automakers will partner together in the fields of vehicle electrification and intelligence.

As the market trends point towards carbon neutrality and zero traffic-accident fatalities, Honda and Nissan both believe that it’s essential to strengthen both their environmental and electrification technologies as well as software development. With this, the two companies have reached the understanding based on the belief that it is necessary to combine their strengths and explore the possibility of future collaboration.

The scope of the feasibility study includes automotive software platforms, core components related to EVs, and complementary products.

Makoto Uchida, president and CEO of Nissan said: “It is important to prepare for the increasing pace of transformation in mobility in the mid-to-long-term, and it is significant that we have reached this agreement based on a mutual understanding that Honda and Nissan face common challenges. We look forward to further discussions and aim to find win-wins for sustainable growth.”

Toshihiro Mibe, Honda director, president, and representative executive officer, said: “In this period of once-in-a-century transformation in the automotive industry, we will examine the potential for partnership between Nissan and Honda. Our study criteria will be whether the synergy of the technologies and knowledge that our companies have cultivated will enable us to become industry leaders by creating new value for the automotive industry.”
