Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda have entered into an agreement to collaborate on developing computer parts and software for vehicles planned to hit the market in the fiscal year 2029. Both companies will share standardized components in "core ECUs," or electronic control units, along with software. The partnership between Nissan, headquartered in Yokohama, and Honda, based in Tokyo, began in 2024 as they explored joint efforts in developing electric vehicles and automotive intelligence technology.
Nissan produces electric cars like the Leaf and luxury models under the Infiniti brand, while Honda's lineup includes the Accord sedan, Civic compact, and Odyssey minivan. The agreement, announced on Monday, did not specifically mention electric vehicles or model names, but focused on so-called software-defined vehicles. These vehicles possess features and functions that are updated and controlled through software, as opposed to traditional hardware-based mechanics.
The global automotive industry is witnessing an intensifying competition as it ventures into various technologies such as automated driving and zero emissions.
