Nissan said on sex party videoTuesday one of its two Chinese ventures will collaborate with Huawei to develop software for the “digital cockpit” infotainment systems of its China-made vehicles that will launch next year. This makes Dongfeng-Nissan, a joint venture between the Japanese automaker and Chinese manufacturer Dongfeng Motor, the first firm of its kind to embrace Huawei’s HarmonyOS, the mobile operating system developed independently by the Chinese tech giant, according to a Dongfeng-Nissan statement. The news comes months after a Reuters report said Nissan’s chief executive Makoto Uchida visited a Huawei booth during this year’s Beijing Auto Show and listened to representatives explain the systems developed for Aito-branded electric vehicles manufactured by Seres, a partner of Huawei. Separately, the Japanese automaker on Nov. 7 announced it will cut 9,000 jobs, representing 6.7% of its global workforces, while reducing manufacturing capacity worldwide by 20%, partly due to a sales slump in China and the US.
