The Japanese auto giants are teaming up to develop a standard vehicle operating system, aiming to cut costs and catch up in the EV race.

Nissan is in talks to supply cars to Honda in the United States, which would let the struggling Japanese automaker put to use an under-utilised American plant, the Nikkei newspaper said on Friday, without citing sources.

According to Nikkei, Honda is interested in Nissan’s underutilized plant in Canton, Mississippi. The factory currently builds the Frontier and Honda reportedly thinks it would be a great place to make a truck of their own.
