This move comes at a challenging time for the automotive industry, marked by intense competition, especially due to the growth of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, as well as increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
The collaboration, announced in March, covers areas such as automotive software platforms and essential EV components, which become even more relevant with Nissan holding a 34% stake in Mitsubishi.
Recently, it was reported that Mitsubishi has already signed a confidentiality agreement with Honda and Nissan to discuss a broader partnership. Following the announcement, Mitsubishi and the two Japanese automakers saw a significant increase in their stock prices. This union could help the companies reduce research and development costs and accelerate innovations, strengthening their position against Chinese competition.
Despite expectations that the alliance between Nissan, Honda, and Mitsubishi will lead to interesting projects like an affordable sports car, it seems that priorities are focused on more practical issues such as software and electric vehicles, given the difficulty in making sports cars profitable.
