Perbincangan Penggabungan Honda-Nissan Runtuh Akibat Ketegangan Syarat Penguasaan

Perbincangan penggabungan antara Honda Motor Co. dan Nissan Motor Co. telah gagal secara rasmi, dengan ketegangan memuncak akibat tuntutan yang dianggap tidak boleh diterima oleh Nissan. Seorang pegawai kanan Nissan menyifatkan syarat yang dicadangkan oleh Honda sebagai “tidak sopan,” menyebabkan perundingan terhenti.

Punca utama kegagalan perbincangan ialah desakan Honda supaya Nissan menjadi anak syarikatnya, satu syarat yang ditolak mentah-mentah oleh Nissan. Honda juga mencadangkan agar Nissan menghapuskan sistem kenderaan hibrid proprietarinya, e-Power, dan menggantikannya dengan teknologi HV Honda.

Cadangan ini dianggap sebagai penghinaan terhadap warisan teknologi Nissan, yang selama ini dikenali dengan inovasi sendiri. Nissan enggan mengorbankan identiti dan kebebasannya, terutamanya dalam pembangunan teknologi kenderaan elektrik (EV) dan hibrid.

Honda Open to Reconsidering Merger with Nissan on Condition of CEO’s Resignation

The merger discussions between Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. have officially collapsed, with tensions running high over the conditions proposed by Honda. A senior Nissan official expressed strong discontent over what he described as “rude” demands made by Honda during the negotiations.

At the core of the disagreement was Honda’s insistence that Nissan become its subsidiary, a condition that ultimately led to the breakdown of the talks. Honda also pushed Nissan to restructure its business and abandon its proprietary hybrid vehicle (HV) system, e-Power, in favour of Honda’s own HV technology. These proposals were perceived as an affront to Nissan’s reputation, particularly given its historical branding as the “Nissan of technology.”

From Honda’s perspective, integrating Nissan’s sales channels with its hybrid system would have improved economies of scale, potentially lowering procurement costs for both companies. However, Nissan, once a leader in electric vehicle (EV) production, has struggled to keep pace with Toyota and Honda in the hybrid segment. A senior Honda official asserted that Honda had a clear advantage over Nissan in HV technology, further fueling tensions.

Nissan Mencari Rakan Kongsi Baharu kerana Gabungan Dengan Honda Runtuh

Nissan Motor Co. sekali lagi mencari rakan kongsi strategik selepas menolak syarat cadangan penggabungan dengan Honda. Pembuat kereta itu, yang berdepan penurunan keuntungan dan pengurangan tenaga kerja, kini dilaporkan menarik minat baharu daripada syarikat elektronik Taiwan, Foxconn.

Berikutan laporan mengenai potensi penglibatan Foxconn, saham Nissan melonjak sebanyak 6%, manakala saham Honda meningkat lebih 8% selepas Nissan menarik diri daripada penggabungan. Rundingan yang gagal itu berpotensi membentuk semula industri automotif Jepun dan memberi kesan besar kepada masa depan Nissan dalam sektor kenderaan elektrik (EV).

Rundingan Penggabungan dengan Honda Gagal

Pada Disember lalu, Nissan dan Honda mengumumkan rancangan untuk bergabung di bawah satu syarikat induk, satu langkah yang bakal menjadikan mereka pengeluar kereta ketiga terbesar di dunia bersama Mitsubishi Motors. Namun, sumber dalaman yang biasa dengan rundingan tersebut mendedahkan bahawa terma yang disemak oleh Honda akan meletakkan Nissan dalam peranan sebagai anak syarikat dan bukannya rakan kongsi setara. Syarat ini dianggap tidak boleh diterima oleh lembaga pengarah Nissan, sekali gus menyebabkan kegagalan rundingan tersebut.

Nissan Seeks New Partner as Honda Merger Talks Collapse

Nissan Motor Co. is once again searching for a strategic partner after rejecting Honda’s proposed merger terms. The automaker, grappling with declining profits and workforce reductions, is now reportedly drawing renewed interest from Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn.

Following reports of Foxconn’s potential involvement, Nissan’s stock surged by as much as 6%, while Honda’s shares rose over 8% after Nissan’s withdrawal from the merger. The failed negotiations could reshape the Japanese automotive industry and significantly impact Nissan’s future in the electric vehicle (EV) sector.

Merger Talks with Honda Break Down

In December, Nissan and Honda had announced plans to merge under a single holding company, a move that would have made them the world’s third-largest automaker alongside Mitsubishi Motors. However, insiders familiar with the discussions revealed that Honda’s revised terms would have placed Nissan in a subsidiary role rather than as an equal partner. This condition was deemed unacceptable by Nissan’s board, leading to the collapse of the negotiations.

Honda Merancang Membangunkan Model Ultra-High-Performance dengan Teknologi Perlumbaan HRC

Walaupun dominasi SUV dalam jualan global, Honda kekal teguh mempertahankan legasi sebagai pengeluar kenderaan yang mesra peminat. Model seperti Honda Civic Si, Civic Type R, serta Acura Integra dan Integra Type S, terus memperkukuh reputasi ini dengan keseimbangan antara prestasi trek dan kehebatan jalanan. Namun, kenyataan terbaru Presiden Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), Koji Watanabe, mencadangkan bahawa Honda mungkin bersedia untuk membawa prestasi ini ke tahap yang lebih tinggi—dengan model ultra-performance baharu.

Adakah Model Berprestasi Tinggi Honda Akan Muncul?

Dalam wawancara terkini, Watanabe mengisyaratkan bahawa Honda sedang mempertimbangkan pembangunan model yang memanfaatkan sepenuhnya teknologi perlumbaan HRC: “Hari ini, saya tidak dapat berkongsi pelan yang tepat, tetapi ya, kami harus mencipta model prestasi seperti itu bersama teknologi perlumbaan HRC,” kata Watanabe.

Beliau turut mendedahkan bahawa HRC Amerika sudah mula bekerja dalam projek bahagian prestasi, menandakan bahawa usaha ini sedang giat dijalankan.

Model-model baharu ini dijangka membawa teknologi perlumbaan terus ke kenderaan pengeluaran, memberikan pengalaman memandu yang menghubungkan litar lumba dan jalan raya lebih rapat berbanding sebelum ini.

While SUVs dominate global sales, Honda continues to uphold its legacy as a builder of accessible, enthusiast-driven cars. Models like the Honda Civic Si, Civic Type R, and their Acura counterparts, the Integra and Integra Type S, exemplify this commitment with their perfect blend of street prowess and track-ready performance. But Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) President Koji Watanabe has suggested the possibility of taking things even further—a tier above the already impressive Type R and Type S trims.

Higher-Performance Models in the Works?

In an interview, Watanabe hinted that Honda is considering the development of ultra-high-performance models using genuine HRC racing technologies. “Today I cannot tell the exact plan yet, but yes, we should create such kind of performance model together with HRC racing technologies,” said Watanabe. He also confirmed that Honda’s American division (HRC US) has already begun work on developing performance parts.
