'It is being considered that Honda will supply hybrid vehicles (HV) to NISSAN MOTOR CO, which lacks popular car models in the USA.'
Since it takes several years to release HV vehicles after receiving the supply of e:HEV, the fact that the idea of releasing them in a form like OEM is already coming up means there is absolutely no more time to spare.

There are many people who feel that the slump at Nissan has hastened, right?
It has been said before that Daihatsu, Subaru, MAZDA MOTOR CRP, Suzuki, etc. which are manufacturers under the Toyota group, are coming together with Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Honda.
In the recent past, if they receive supply of e:HEV from Honda, wouldn't they be able to release fuel-efficient HVs quickly for high-speed, long-distance travel?
I think e-Power can also coexist (with the technology based on the assumption of EV transition, there are advantages depending on the country such as Japan).
Nissan's sales network is mostly company-owned, while Honda has a lot of independent capital, so it seems that they are considering integration mainly in the design, procurement, component supply, and manufacturing parts.

I think that everyone who promotes active type investment trusts is biased towards the industry's perspective, as there are few cases where active type funds are better than index funds.
Professional fund managers operating active funds cannot be trusted unless they receive no trust fees for years when the expected rate of return is not achieved.

"It means that the executive who was stealing money was the person in charge of managing the 'spare key'."
Of course, if a criminal is the key manager, I think all security measures would become meaningless examples.

It is necessary to understand that it is a different mode of transportation from engine cars.
The challenge with EVs is that as long as you can use the car as before, it is good. If you can't do that, then it's fine to solve it with HV. I think NISSAN MOTOR CO now believes that the HV was thought to be a short-term transition to EVs.

High-displacement HV models for Skyline were not vehicles that sold in large quantities and could reduce costs through mass production, and the fuel efficiency was poor. However, looking back, I feel that it was the wrong decision when considering that they could also be used for Elgrand and sedans aimed at the USA.
The decision of the current management that the Skyline HV sales ended in 2022, focusing on BEVs at that time. It may have been unavoidable to not anticipate the resurgence of HVs...

Bitcoin seems to have a meaning as a digital currency that does not appear to be dominated by a specific country (a layer that cannot rely on the dollar), but the recent surge also feels strongly overheated.
In this situation, I become scared and end up being a bystander, but I sometimes think that's why I can't make a profit. However, I also wonder if this spineless attitude will continue without exiting...

'The major factor behind the price transfer rate of companies remaining at 44.9% is significant, with just over 10% of companies unable to pass on prices at all.'
It is necessary to keep an eye on companies that are unable to pass on prices. (In recent years, auto manufacturers in Japan have been raising prices significantly, which can be considered as industries that have been able to do this)
