Nissan and Mitsubishi are edging even closer. Now, they inked a production deal where Mitsubishi produces the Navara pickup trucks for Nissan at Mitsubishi’s plant in Thailand. Production will start “in fiscal 2012,” which starts on April 1, 2012.
The one-ton pickup will be produced at Mitsubishi Motors’ plant in the Laem Chabang Industrial Estate in Thailand.
According to Nissan, “this new production is part of an agreement signed in December 2010 to expand the scope of cooperation between the two companies.” Last month, the two established the joint venture NMKV Co., Ltd, to develop kei cars for both in Japan.

It’s about time that these two took their relationship to the next step.
In a dream world, the US would get this to capitalize on $5 gas, as a turbo-diesel made in Normal IL or the Titan plant.
Agreed. From what I’ve read around the web, the Mitsubishi Triton has been an award-winning top performer in the east. I would buy a 4M41-powered Mitsubishi truck in a heartbeat. (Though I’d be happy with an old, 4D55-powered, grey market Delica van sourced through Canada.)
Kinda makes me wonder why we even bother discussing M&A anymore. They’re all incahoots, ya know? Mitsubishi/Citroen/Peugeot/Nissan/Infiniti… It’s like six steps to Kevin Bacon-san.
Does this mean Mitsus will rust easily, too?
