Honda Motor and ‌Nissan Motor are expected to ​agree as ⁠soon as Monday on developing a shared operating system and ‌onboard computer to go into new automobiles ‌as early as ‌2029, ⁠the Nikkei newspaper ⁠reported on Saturday.

Honda told Reuters that no deal had been ​decided and ‌that the Japanese automaker was discussing "potential areas of collaboration" with Nissan and Mitsubishi ‌Motors under their strategic partnership.

Nissan's ​CEO, Ivan Espinosa, said earlier this ⁠month that the company was discussing possible areas ‌of software collaboration with Honda.

The report also comes more than a year after Nissan and Honda ended merger talks ‌to forge a $60 billion ​car company.

Nissan did not immediately respond to ⁠a Reuters request for comment ⁠outside regular business hours.
