The heads of both brands signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), a non-binding agreement that could lead to the two companies partnering in order to exchange financial and technical support . Makoto Uchida, President of Nissan , noted that Mitsubishi Motors , who have been in a previous partnership with the company since 1999, will also be involved in talks. He explained: " Honda and Nissan have begun considering a business integration, and will study the creation of significant synergies between the two companies in a wide range of fields. "It is significant that Nissan's partner, Mitsubishi Motors, is also involved in these discussions. We anticipate that if this integration comes to fruition, we will be able to deliver even greater value to a wider customer base." Nissan and Mitsubishi have both been in an alliance with Renault Group for the past 25 years, with all three companies supporting one another to share a range of vehicle platforms, mechanicals, and technology. However, with Renault Group rumoured to have plans that can see their stake in Nissan reduced, the Japanese car companies have been actively seeking new partners in the next 12 months. Renault Group aknowledged the news, with a spokesperson stating that the French company will "consider all options based on the best interest of the Group and its stakeholders". Toshihiro Mibe, Director of Honda, stated that the new partnership could mark a huge change for the automotive industry and will therefore be discussed seriously. He added: "At this time of change in the automobile industry, which is said to occur once every 100 years, we hope that Mitsubishi Motors' participation in the business integration discussions of Nissan and Honda will lead to further social change, and that we will be able to become a leading company in creating new value in mobility through business integration. "Nissan and Honda will start the discussion from today onwards, with an aim to clarify the possibility of business integration by around the end of January in line with the consideration of Mitsubishi Motors." Whilst there is no guarantee that Honda and Nissan will merge under the new agreement, a number of motoring experts have stated that the partnership could create fierce competition from the rising Chinese car industry. In spite of both companies producing some models in the country, many brands unique to China are beginning to be exported to European nations, often at substantially lower prices than Western rivals. By sharing their technology, some have argued that the partnership could help to cut the cost of developing new vehicles, helping to reduce the overall price consumers will need to pay.EFCC Chairman Praises Tinubu’s Anti-Corruption Drive In Christmas Message

NoneET Explainer: Taxing times for popcorn & used carsNBA Rumors: Hawks 'Continue to Rebuff' Trade Interest in Larry Nance Jr.As we visit friends and family over the holiday season, it’s always nice to take along a gift. There are, of course, many options, like a bottle of wine or a specialty food item. A bouquet of flowers, however, is one of the most meaningful and appreciated. Ever since the dark days of COVID-19, flowers have become the new "hug." They evoke a sense of happiness, and they bring a connection to nature. I love the fact that Millennial folks are growing their own cut flower gardens, even in small spaces. They love having their own source of cut flowers to enjoy in their homes and also to share as gifts with friends and neighbours. As our gardens are now dormant until spring, we are fortunate to have so many local, high-quality cut flower growers here in B.C. For that matter, they are now exporting cut flowers to other provinces and to the United States, and their selection is amazing, ranging from roses, orchid stems, chrysanthemums, alstroemerias, lilies, gerbera daisies and fragrant stocks to Ilex berries and skimmia flowers. Because of all their innovation and use of technology, their carbon footprint is quite low. If you are considering a gift of flowers, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind. The first is the lasting quality, especially in our warm, dry houses at this time of the year. Most cut flowers will deliver a week to ten days of enjoyment, while others can last for weeks. Always try to purchase flowers which are on the tight side and just beginning to open. Today, chrysanthemums are spectacular, both the spray type with multiple flowers and the single stem disbuds. They are available in so many new colours and various flower forms. Alstroemerias come in a wide range of colours and are noted for their long-lasting appeal. Tight lilies, both the colourful Asiatics and the fragrant Orientals, also last well. Roses are classy, and the spray forms, with their multiple smaller buds, have exceptional lasting qualities. Carnations, too, offer multi-flowered elegance. I love wax flowers with their masses of tiny blossoms that add a nice touch to any bouquet. Berry stems, like hypericum, also hang in there very well. Fragrance is an important consideration in any bouquet. Oriental lilies, freesias and Polianthes tuberosa will never disappoint. Eucalyptus has also become a favourite because of its unique perfume. At this time of the year, accessorizing bouquets with perfumed greens, such as small branches of soft white pine, silver fir or incense cedar, will add a pleasing forest scent. Your gift of flowers will be a much-appreciated bouquet of beauty and perfume to be enjoyed, possibly for weeks!
