Japanese giants may join to fight off “very aggressive” new competitors

Japanese titans Honda and Nissan are considering entering into a partnership to reduce the cost of developing electric cars and advanced driver assistance technologies. The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding and will soon begin investigating areas where they can most effectively cut costs through collaboration. This includes the joint procurement of key components, to exploit economies of scale.
