I may be drawing a rather long bow here, but I think the proposed merger of truck manufacturers, Hino Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso is a reaction to the growth of China. Their output of trucks and buses have really gathered pace, and this merger of two of the big three truck brands in Japan appears to be a defensive move.

A new entity will be formed which will be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Hino parent, Toyota and Mitsubishi Fuso parent, Daimler Truck of Germany will each have an equal share.
