After reaching an agreement between Nissan and Honda, Mitsubishi Motors is also considering the possibility of joining the combined company. Earlier, Honda and Nissan announced cooperation with Mitsubishi on the creation of software and the supply of electrical equipment. They entered into a joint research agreement and expanded their partnership with Mitsubishi Motors in August. The merger of the two Japanese brands will be the most significant reorganization in the global automotive sector since the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA in 2021 into the Stellantis holding company, Reuters notes. The deal is valued at $52 billion.
