In the ever-evolving world of automotive manufacturing, a potential partnership between Nissan and Foxconn is causing a stir. As of August 2025, Nissan and Foxconn are engaged in ongoing negotiations regarding electric vehicle (EV) production at Nissan's Oppama plant in Japan.
The proposed collaboration aims to boost Nissan's EV production to meet global demand, while preserving jobs at the plant that faces job cuts due to Nissan’s internal restructuring. Foxconn's expertise in tech manufacturing could bring innovations and efficiencies valued by Nissan in this transition.
Despite the active negotiations, Foxconn is not currently actively engaged in concrete negotiations with Nissan. However, the Taiwanese tech giant is exploring partnerships with Japanese automakers, including Nissan. Foxconn's interest in Nissan extends beyond just a potential partnership, as the company sees strong compatibility potential and strategic value in such collaboration.
In a broader context, Foxconn is finalizing a deal with Mitsubishi Motors to supply EVs and had proposed a multi-company partnership including Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Honda, especially after the Honda-Nissan merger talks collapsed. Foxconn has also expressed interest in potentially taking a stake in Nissan, but its main immediate goal appears to be cooperation rather than acquisition.
Meanwhile, Honda and Nissan have confirmed the termination of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) formed in December. However, the two carmakers will continue to collaborate on electrified vehicles. The terminated MOU allowed the two carmakers to explore the possibility of a business integration, but Honda has ruled out the possibility of a hostile takeover of Nissan.
In the automotive industry, partnerships and collaborations are becoming increasingly common as companies seek to innovate and compete in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market. The potential partnership between Nissan and Foxconn is a testament to this trend, and we will continue to follow this developing story closely.
