AutoExec Summary
Rival Japanese car manufacturers Nissan and Honda are exploring a partnership for next-gen electric cars. They plan to study a strategic collaboration in vehicle electrification and intelligence, potentially sharing an electric powertrain and developing a shared electric-vehicle platform to compete with Chinese brands like BYD. Honda and Nissan aim to work together more effectively to lower costs and challenge the growth of Chinese electric cars in the Australian market. Honda and General Motors previously planned to develop an affordable electric car, but the partnership has been scrapped. Honda does not currently sell electric vehicles in Australia, while Nissan has been selling the Leaf for 12 years.
