On March 15th, Nissan and Honda announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding. According to the memorandum, the two companies will begin collaborating in the field of electric vehicles, covering areas such as vehicle electrification, smart technologies, software platforms, as well as core components related to electric vehicles.
Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida stated: "Responding to the accelerating transformation in the mobility sector is crucial, and the agreement we have reached is based on a shared understanding of the common challenges we face. We look forward to further discussions and aim to achieve a sustainable win-win situation."
Honda Motor CEO Toshihiro Mibe also said: "In this once-in-a-century transformation period for the automotive industry, we will leverage the synergies of our accumulated technologies and knowledge to explore potential opportunities for collaboration between Nissan and Honda, with the aim of becoming a leader in creating new automotive value."
According to the Nikkei newspaper, Nissan is considering collaborating with Honda to develop more affordable electric vehicle technologies. Sources say Nissan may discuss jointly developing batteries and electric vehicles with Honda. One option is to jointly procure a common electric vehicle powertrain, while another is to jointly design and manufacture a shared electric vehicle platform.
Reducing the price of electric vehicles is the main goal of this collaboration, as they are targeting Chinese automakers like BYD that have low-priced models. Since BYD produces almost all automotive components in-house, it has a significant cost advantage.
It's worth noting that Honda had previously cancelled a plan to jointly produce affordable electric vehicles with General Motors, citing "changes in the business environment".
According to previous reports from IT Home, Nissan and Honda also plan to scale down their production in China, with Nissan considering a 30% reduction in its production capacity in China, and Honda planning a 20% cut.
Honda's deployment in the electric vehicle field mainly includes the following aspects:
1,Pure electric vehicles: Honda has launched several pure electric vehicles, such as Honda e and Honda Clarity Electric. These models adopt advanced electric drive technology and have the characteristics of zero emissions and low energy consumption.
2,Hybrid electric vehicles: Honda has launched several hybrid electric vehicles, such as Honda Accord Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid. These models combine an electric motor and a gasoline engine, providing high fuel efficiency while reducing exhaust emissions.
3,Fuel cell vehicles: Honda has launched the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell fuel cell vehicle. This model adopts a fuel cell system, generating electricity to drive the vehicle through the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, with the characteristics of zero emissions and long cruising range.
4,Charging infrastructure construction: Honda actively participates in the construction of charging infrastructure, collaborating with other automakers and energy companies to promote the construction and popularization of electric vehicle charging facilities.
5,Technological innovation: Honda is committed to innovating electric vehicle technology, developing a number of advanced technologies such as high-efficiency battery technology, smart charging technology and advanced driving assistance systems, to improve the performance and user experience of electric vehicles.
Overall, Honda's deployment in the electric vehicle field is relatively comprehensive, with pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, as well as active participation in charging infrastructure construction and technological innovation, committed to promoting the development and popularization of electric vehicles.
