Recently, according to media reports, Mitsubishi Motors is considering giving up joining the business merger being promoted by Honda and Nissan Motors. Honda and Nissan plan to set up a holding company and join them, but Mitsubishi Motors does not intend to join, and will strive to strengthen cooperation with the two companies while maintaining an independent listing. People familiar with the matter revealed that Mitsubishi is most worried not about the burden brought by the merger, but about its voice being drowned out by the company dominated by Honda and Nissan. Mitsubishi Motors still hopes to maintain flexible business decision-making power to further expand its market share in Southeast Asia.
