Honda Motor (HMC) and Nissan Motor (NSANY) are set to enter negotiations toward a merger, Nikkei has learned. Honda and Nissan are considering operating under a holding company, and soon will sign a memorandum of understanding, as the automakers see joining their resources to better compete against Tesla (TSLA) and Chinese electric vehicle makers in a rapidly changing automobile industry, the report stated. Their respective stakes in the new entity, as well as other details, will be decided later, according to Nikkei.
