The global auto industry is seeing a wave of consolidation as companies lagging behind in the electric vehicle transition face pressure to adapt or risk extinction. This competitive crisis, fueled by China's rise in automotive technology, is even impacting Germany, once the undisputed leader in automotive innovation. Volkswagen, for example, is considering closing plants in its home country as it struggles to shift from gasoline engines to electric vehicles.
Nissan and Honda, identified as laggards in electromobility and software-defined cars, are exploring deeper ties, including a potential merger that would create a company with nearly 7.5 million annual vehicle sales, ranking it as the world's third-largest automaker. This move could help them compete with EV giants like BYD and Tesla. Meanwhile, Renault, a major shareholder in Nissan, has initiated cost-cutting measures, including 9,000 job cuts, and warned shareholders of declining profits. Renault is also in the process of dissolving its long-standing alliance with Nissan. A closer partnership with Honda would strengthen Nissan's position in its domestic market against Toyota and its coalition of Mazda, Subaru, and Suzuki. The Financial Times has reported that Renault could sell some of its 36% stake in Nissan to Honda. Reuters' BreakingViews column speculates that the talks could lead to a full merger, potentially boosting profit margins. However, as Stellantis's struggles demonstrate, mergers alone are not a guarantee of success in the automotive industry
