Nissan Motor is considering a joint project for vehicle and powertrain development with Honda Motor  in the U.S., Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa told the Nikkei business daily on Thursday.

 

Nissan and Honda said last December they were in talks to merge but in February the two Japanese automakers ended the discussions, which were strained by disagreements including over the balance of power. There are currently no talks over a merger or capital alliance, the Nikkei cited Espinosa as saying.
