Japanese manufacturers have been met in China with strong competition from local newcomers, forcing the former to cut back production and staffing or, in the case of Mitsubishi Motors Corp., pull out of the market altogether. Both Honda and Nissan are reportedly planning to cut production capacity in China as sales continue to fall, while China’s BYD Co. revealed plans this month to roll out new models and expand its dealership network in Japan.
The deal is advantageous because “both the parties are in trouble,” said Seiji Sugiura, senior analyst at Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Laboratory Co. If they collaborate on batteries, that “will save them a lot of cost,” he said.
