Japanese auto giants Honda and Nissan on Monday agreed to launch talks on a merger seen as a bid to catch up with Chinese rivals and Tesla on electric vehicles.

The two firms, along with Mitsubishi Motors, “have signed a memorandum of understanding to start discussions and considerations toward a business integration between the two companies through the establishment of a joint holding company,” a joint statement said.

Meanwhile, the duo said Monday they aim to list a new holding company in August 2026 as the pair announced they are entering talks on a merger.

“Shares of the newly established joint holding company under consideration are planned to be newly listed (technical listing) on the prime market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The listing is scheduled for August 2026,” another joint statement said.
