From Transport Evolved.
It’s no secret that Nissan has been struggling a lot lately, both in terms of general automotive sales but also in terms of EV production and sales.
And, following on from an already-announced partnership between it and Honda earlier this year, it looks like Nissan and Honda are ready to take it to the next level. But are they really about to get married and become a new car company? Or is it something a little more subtle?
Here’s what we know – and some context behind the potential merger.
