Honda and Nissan are reportedly considering a merger, fueling speculation about the implications of this potential move. Experts, however, are not surprised by the rumors of a partnership. News of the merger talks, initially reported by the Nikkei newspaper on Tuesday, comes as both Japanese auto giants face challenges competing with leading global electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, including Tesla and Chinese automaker BYD.
While neither Honda nor Nissan has officially confirmed the merger discussions, Brian Moody, executive editor at Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book, predicted approximately a year ago that we would see more such partnerships. He explained that companies can benefit by pooling resources and reducing costs. Moody emphasized that transitioning to an all-electric fleet is a substantial undertaking for large companies, requiring extensive research and development. Honda and Nissan are the second- and third-largest auto manufacturers in Japan, respectively, with Toyota leading the pack. The respective market capitalizations of Honda and Nissan are approximately 5.95 trillion yen ($38.8 billion) and 1.17 trillion yen ($7.6 billion). Moody stated that a company like Honda might not be able to achieve this alone, but Honda possesses compelling products. He believes both companies bring valuable assets to the table. Moody further explained that the primary benefit of a merger would be consolidating resources to avoid costly missteps in technologies like electric cars, which are growing but not as rapidly as initially anticipated. As for consumers, Moody suggests that a merger could result in smaller, more affordable electric vehicles
