Honda-Nissan vehicle software partnership

Entities: Mitsubishi Motors Corp. · Honda Motor Co. · Nissan Motor Co.

Overview

In early July, Honda and Nissan were reported to be moving closer to a joint electronic control unit (ECU) partnership focused on hybrid and electric vehicles.

Later in July, the two companies abandoned plans for a merger and instead agreed to co‑develop a common operating system for next‑generation, software‑defined vehicles. The collaboration will build on Nissan’s existing vehicle OS, expand it for both manufacturers, and standardise ECUs. Formalisation is expected by August, with possible future involvement of Mitsubishi Motors, while Renault will not take part. Immediate attention is on the software platform rather than a full merger or production shifts.
