Summary

Merger talks between Honda and Nissan have collapsed due to disagreements over Nissan’s role in the deal.

The proposed $60 billion tie-up aimed to strengthen both companies against growing Chinese competition in the electric vehicle market.

Nissan, struggling with declining sales and past leadership turmoil, sought relief, while Honda held a stronger position.

Analysts warn Nissan now faces an uncertain future, though Taiwan’s Foxconn has shown interest in investing.
