Nissan is in talks to supply cars to Honda in the United States, which would let the struggling Japanese automaker put to use an under-utilised American plant, the Nikkei newspaper said on Friday, without citing sources.

The move would be aimed at improving profitability and plant utilization for a turnaround, while helping mitigate the impact of U.S. tariffs.

Nissan may get the chance to activate some idled manufacturing capacity in the United States to build trucks for Honda, according to a report from Japan’s Nikkei newspaper. The coverage did not cite a source, but it pointed to Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi, plant as a potential manufacturing location for a Honda pickup.
