Honda and Nissan revealed they had signed a memorandum of understanding. They said a tie-up would potentially help them 'maintain global competitiveness'Honda and Nissan are weighing a merger amid an intense battle to capture the future electric vehicle market, potentially building the world's largest carmaker by sales.
It would also take the battle to the band of emerging Chinese carmakers that are staking a big claim in major western markets. Makoto Uchida, chief executive of Nissan, said: 'I believe that by uniting the strengths of both companies, we can deliver unparalleled value to customers worldwide who appreciate our respective brands.

'We now need to see urgent action from the Government by the end of the year to avoid a potentially irreversible impact on the UK automotive sector.'
