According to the manufacturers, the merger is aimed to be finalised by June 2025, while shares for the holdings company will be listed by August 2026
The article from CarDekho discusses a potential merger between Nissan, Honda, and Mitsubishi, aiming to combine their strengths in the automotive industry by 2025. This strategic alliance is driven by the need to tackle the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, including the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving technology, and the increasing market dominance of Chinese manufacturers. The merger would allow these companies to share technology, reduce costs, and enhance their competitive edge globally. Nissan and Mitsubishi already have a partnership, and adding Honda to this mix could lead to significant advancements in EV technology and market expansion, particularly in regions where these brands have strongholds. However, the article notes that while discussions are underway, no final agreements have been confirmed, and the merger faces regulatory and shareholder approval hurdles.
