Nissan among Japanese automakers is the most likely candidate for Apple’s car project!
Details continue to emerge about Apple’s first electric vehicle to be fully self-driving and initially intended for commercial use only.
Sources say Apple’s auto project will definitely not fail due to a lack of production partners. Now Nissan has announced its readiness to agree with Apple.
CEO Makoto Uchida said the company is open to partnering with Apple, adding: “As technology transforms the automotive industry, we need to come up with new initiatives and work with companies that have the knowledge and experience.”
What’s more, some industry analysts suggest that, as with other products, Apple will be looking for more than one supplier and is already in talks with other Japanese carmakers.
Nissan shares have surged amid these rumours in recent days. According to the source, Nissan is the most likely candidate for Apple’s car project among Japanese automakers. According to Mio Kato, a stock analyst, Nissan has significantly expanded its presence in the US in recent years and has spare capacity.
Earlier, shares in Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors fell after they said they were not in talks with Apple to build a self-driving car.
