The main iPhone manufacturer, Nissan’s last farewell?

Nissan, now a giant with feet of clay in crisis, remains at the heart of many covetous interests!

Nissan is going through a critical period, and the failure of negotiations with Honda, coupled with Mitsubishi’s doubts, radically changes the situation. What seemed unlikely yesterday has now become a credible hypothesis. Nissan’s rich history could well attract a new player in the automotive industry, far from traditional circles.

In this context, Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics giant, is back on the table. For months, a rapprochement with Honda was seen as the natural solution, with two Japanese manufacturers sharing common values and complementary strategic visions. An alliance would have allowed Honda to consolidate its national position and accelerate in electric vehicles, while Nissan could have relied on vital support to restore its credibility.

But the situation has changed. Deterred by Honda’s desire to become the main player in any merger, Nissan left the negotiation table. This withdrawal opens the door to an unexpected alternative, that of Foxconn, known for assembling our iPhones, which harbors great ambitions in the electric vehicle sector.

Foxconn is not just looking for factories or technologies, but for a strategic coup. Acquiring Nissan means obtaining a century-old heritage, a globally recognized brand, and valuable assets like NISMO, its prestigious competition branch. Unlike Honda, which is forced to preserve Nissan’s independence, Foxconn could reshape the company in its own image, leveraging its industrial expertise to transform Nissan into a pioneer of electric mobility.

As Nissan faces this crossroads, a crucial question arises: should it surrender its identity to survive? While the Honda option seems rational, experts point out that it lacks meaning for a healthy manufacturer. Foxconn, on the other hand, has the flexibility and boldness needed to seize this opportunity.

The situation, deemed unlikely yesterday, is becoming terribly plausible today. Nissan’s future could very well be decided in Taiwan.
