What started as a rumor in Japanese media earlier this week has now been officially confirmed. Honda and Nissan have signed a memorandum of understanding for a feasibility study to explore the potential of jointly developed electric vehicles. If the two automakers reach an agreement, the partnership could also include working together on software.<\/p>\n
The collaboration is still in its infancy but if Nissan <\/a>and Honda do ink a deal, the plan is to channel efforts into “automotive software platforms, core components related to EVs, and complementary products.” The software part could pertain to safety and\/or autonomous driving technologies since the press release published by both companies talks about “zero traffic-accident fatalities.” It also includes a shared goal of reaching carbon neutrality.<\/p>\n Get the Motor1 Newsletter Sign Up Today <\/p>\n According to a report published by Nikkei Asia<\/em><\/a> a few days ago, Nissan and Honda want to develop a new platform exclusively intended for electric vehicles. The collaboration could extend to engineering EVs together. In addition, the Japanese automakers could pool money to buy a common EV powertrain and batteries.<\/p>\n A tie-up would not only speed up development but also bring R&D costs down. Honda is no longer working with General Motors to co-develop affordable electric crossovers, so the fact it\u2019s seeking a new partner is no surprise. The collaboration with GM is likely to be limited to the Honda Prologue<\/a> and Acura ZDX on the Ultium platform.<\/p>\n Nissan has a partner in Renault when it comes to EVs and other types of vehicles. The next-generation Micra will be heavily based on the reborn Renault 5<\/a>. It’s going to use about 80 percent of the same parts and will enter production in 2026 at Renault’s Douai factory\u00a0in northern France.<\/p>\n With Chinese competition intensifying while the Volkswagen Group and Stellantis <\/a>are doubling down on EVs, Nissan and Honda don’t want to trail behind. However, since the two have just signed an MoU, it means a jointly developed platform\/car is unlikely to come out in the next few years, provided a final deal is agreed upon.<\/p>\n The New Hydrogen Honda CR-V Has A Rechargeable Battery<\/a> Source: Honda, Nissan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What started as a rumor in Japanese media earlier this week has now been officially confirmed.
