Shares of Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors surged over 6% on Monday, spurred by local media reports indicating the company is in discussions to join an alliance with Nissan Motor and Honda Motor.
The collaboration aims to standardize the in-vehicle software that controls cars, as reported by several media outlets, including Kyodo and the Nikkei business newspaper.
Spokespeople for Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Honda declined to comment on the reports.
