Japan: Honda and Nissan to jointly develop vehicle software
After a failed merger, Honda and Nissan are making a new attempt at cooperation. This is how the Japanese automakers are reacting to growing pressure from China and the US.
Honda and Nissan are collaborating to develop a central software for their next-generation vehicles, as announced on Monday. The two Japanese automakers have signed an agreement to standardize key software, including the vehicle operating system and electronic control units. The technology is set to be used from April 2029 and is expected to help reduce costs and increase competitiveness in development. The partnership comes two years after discussions began, as reported by the Nikkei newspaper.
