Honda, Nissan to announce merger details in mid-February: Officials
Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. are set to reveal the specifics of their planned merger in mid-February.
Company officials stated this on Friday.
The two automakers, Japan’s second and third largest by volume, previously announced plans to merge under a holding company in 2026 and had initially aimed to disclose further details by the end of January.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Honda has been pushing Nissan to accelerate its restructuring efforts.
In November, Nissan announced plans to cut 9,000 jobs worldwide and reduce its global production capacity by 20 per cent after reporting a more than 90 per cent drop in net profit for the April-September period.
Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Motors Corp., a partner of Nissan, had been considering joining the merger but is now leaning toward remaining independent, the sources said.
