The scope of this feasibility study will include automotive software platforms, EV-related core components, and complementary products, according to the joint statement by the two manufacturers. “It is important to prepare for the increasing pace of transformation in mobility in the mid-to-long-term, and it is significant that we have reached this agreement based on a mutual understanding that Honda and Nissan face common challenges.
