Ambitious plans to merge Nissan with Honda and take the operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores private have both fallen apart, leaving them grasping for solutions https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/03/02/companies/japan-fallout-companies-vulnerable/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nissan #honda #seveniholdings #mergers #acquisitions #seveneleven
@arstechnica Absolutely won’t happen… As a current #Nissan #Leaf owner, I’d be curious to see what would happen if #Tesla did buy Nissan; but it would make very little sense for them to do so.
If Nissan was unable to find a buyer and went out of business, well Tesla is one of many companies that would directly benefit from such a demise; so it would make more sense for Tesla to reject any such proposal outright.
In saying that, this is just wishful thinking by #politicians , anyway.

Japanische Autobauer: Fusion von Honda und Nissan abgeblasen
Schwächelnde Geschäfte in China, wachsende Konkurrenz auf dem E-Auto-Markt: Japans zweit- und drittgrößter Autobauer wollten sich mit einer möglichen Fusion dagegen stemmen. Die Pläne sind nun gescheitert.
Autobauer: Fusion von Honda und Nissan könnte scheitern
Wegen des harten Wettbewerbs bei Elektrofahrzeugen planten Japans zweit- und drittgrößter Autobauer eine Fusion. Doch es scheint nicht nur Probleme bei der Bewertung der zwei Unternehmen zu geben.
Finished another endurance race today in Gran Turismo 2 using a Nissan R390 GT1 LM Race Car '97.
Laguna Seca 200 Miles took me two hours to beat and was quite more challenging then the City Course Rome race a week ago.
I ended up with only 15 seconds ahead on first place what alone was possible by skipping one pit stop the other drivers did.
Only two more endurances races to go.
In June 2012 we purchased this #Nissan LEAF for around $59K (in 2025 dollars). It had a range of 160km (on paper) with a 24kWh battery.
Now you can buy an entry level #BYD EV for under $30K with a 44.9kWh battery and a bit more than twice the range at 350km WLTP.
EVs have already “won” with the far lowest all in total cost per km with the added benefit of cleaner air in our cities. When they soon offer V2G/V2H to soak up all our cheap solar and wind they will be even better.

Japanese automaker Nissan will throw its lot in with Honda.
The two Japanese OEMs plan to merge by 2026,
creating the world's third-largest car company in the process.
Already, earlier this year the two signed memorandums of understanding to create a strategic partnership
focused on software and electrification.
Now, they say, the changing business environment calls for deeper integration.
Currently, #Honda is an independent OEM,
albeit one with strong links to #General #Motors.
Meanwhile, #Nissan currently forms one part of an alliance, together with France's #Renault and the also-Japanese #Mitsubishi.
But the Renault-Nissan alliance has not been entirely smooth.
In 2019, then-head of the alliance Carlos Ghosn was arrested by Japanese police
on charges of financial misconduct.
After three months under house arrest,
Ghosn fled the country and Japan's criminal justice system, (which rarely returns a not guilty verdict).
Last year, Nissan agreed to invest $663 million into Renault's EV activities;
at the same time Renault gave up the majority of its shares in Nissan,
reducing the stake of each company owned by the other, down to 15 percent.
That was meant to lead to "a broader range of EV products and powertrains,"
said Uchida at the time.
But evidently it was decided that this arrangement was not sufficient to improve Nissan's electric vehicle portfolio.
For its part, Mitsubishi says it will monitor the situation and decide whether or not to join at a later date.
Meanwhile Renault said in a statement that
"as the main shareholder of Nissan,
Renault Group will consider all options based on the best interest of the Group and its stakeholders.
Renault Group continues to execute its strategy and to roll-out projects that create value for the Group,
including projects already launched within the Alliance."
