Honda, Nissan deal may be key in fight against China’s BYD

Honda-Nissan merger: Honda’s potential acquisition of Nissan could help the two Japanese brands improve their competitive stance against China’s BYD in the global car market. Struggling individually, Honda and Nissan sold 3.43 million and just over 3 million cars respectively, while BYD sold 3.76 million units. The combination might also challenge Toyota’s dominance.
