OVERVIEW OF THE RENAULT-NISSAN ALLIANCE
FACTs AND FIGUREs
Structure of the Alliance
Founded in 1999, the Renault-Nissan Alliance has become the longest-lasting
cross-cultural combination among major carmakers. This unique partnership is
a pragmatic, flexible business tool that can expand to accommodate new projects
and partners worldwide.
he Alliance is a buffer to protect partners during regional downturns, and
T
it has accelerated Renault and Nissan’s momentum in some of the world’s
fastest growing economies.
Renault holds a 43.4% stake in Nissan. Nissan holds a 15% stake in Renault. The crossshareholding model ensures that both partners have a mutual self-interest and encourages
each to pursue “win-win” strategies that benefit both.
Formed on March 28, 2002, Renault-Nissan BV is a company incorporated under Dutch
law and equally owned by Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., responsible for the
strategic management of the Alliance.
43.4%
he Alliance has helped Renault and Nissan outperform historic regional rivals,
T
elevating both companies into an elite tier. Together, Renault and Nissan rank
in the top four car groups globally.
ased on cross-shareholding and mutual self-interest, the Alliance business
B
platform maximizes synergies without destroying brand identity. In order to
achieve competitive economies of scale, many automakers are embarking
on collaborations similar to the groundbreaking partnership that Renault and
Nissan established 15 years ago.

Alliance synergies accelerated in 2009 with the creation of a Renault-Nissan dedicated
team to capture hard synergies. In 2013, the Alliance realized an estimated 2.8 billion
euros in new synergies. The Alliance is studying further convergence in four core business
functions: R&D, Manufacturing, Purchasing and Human Resources. The Alliance estimates
that the new projects will result in at least €4.3B in annualized synergies by 2016.

Common Module Family is a modular architecture system that dissects
the vehicle into five components – known as the “4+1 Big Modules” concept.
The modules include four basic body units (engine compartment, cockpit, front
underbody and rear underbody), plus the vehicle’s electrical and electronic
systems. Product developers “mix and match” components for a larger variety
of vehicles -- from urban subcompacts to compacts, mid-size sedans, crossovers
and SUVs.

Renault-Nissan Purchasing Organization, or RNPO, is the Alliance’s largest
common organization. It negotiates prices among suppliers on behalf of both
Renault and Nissan. Since 2009, joint purchasing represents 100% of Alliance
commodity purchases, compared to 30% in 2001.

visibility
CMF has three segments:
- CMF-A: small, fuel-efficient vehicles for high-growth markets
- CMF-B: mid-sized vehicles
- CMF-C/D: larger vehicles, including many SUVs and crossovers
CMF vehicles in production include the Nissan X-Trail (in multiple plants
worldwide), Nissan Rogue (Tennessee, USA), and Nissan Qashqai (Sunderland,
UK). Renault CMF vehicles will begin production later this year. By 2018, 70% of
all Renault-Nissan Alliance vehicles will fall within CMF scope.

COOPERATIONS
Product related synergies
Exchanges of powertrains and common powertrains
To capitalize on powertrain expertise of both partners, the Alliance co-develops
common engines and gearboxes. Centers of excellence stem from the companies’
historic areas of expertise: Renault specializes in diesel engines and manual
transmissions, while Nissan specializes in gasoline engines and automatic
transmissions.
Powertrain synergies represented €709 million in 2012.
COOPERATIONS
NON-Product related synergies
In addition to synergies on parts, platforms and purchasing, the Renault-Nissan
Alliance has created numerous teams that have unlocked cost savings strategies
around the world, including:
ogistics: A unified team has commonized packing, shipping and other
L
functions that are completely invisible to the consumer, achieving €176 million
in synergies in 2012.
ustoms & Trade: A dedicated team has reduced customs duties and
C
administrative costs that each company incurred separately. The team has also
negotiated better terms and implemented economic policies to establish best
practices for regions around the globe. Customs & Trade represented a level
of synergies of €400 million in 2012.
/IT: Renault and Nissan share common information systems infrastructure,
IS
data centers and licenses, and generated €60 million in synergies in 2012.
ales and Marketing: In 2012, the Alliance won its first fleet contracts to
S
supply at least 15,000 vehicles on multiple continents for global food company
Danone. In 2013, Alliance fleet also signed sales contracts with IT group ATOS
and pharmaceutical company Merck.

Strategic Cooperation with Daimler
Daimler AG, maker of Mercedes, is one of the world’s largest luxury car
manufacturers. In April 2010, the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG
announced a strategic partnership based on three “pillar projects” with the
expectation that the relationship could deepen as the teams discovered specific
new projects. The scope of the partnership has expanded substantially in four years.
Under the cooperation, teams are working together on the following projects:
FOR RENAULT AND DAIMLER:
A new common architecture for Daimler’s smart and Renault Twingo successors
(New Twingo revealed in February 2014)
Citan, a new light commercial vehicle under the Mercedes-Benz brand, based
on Renault technology and produced in Renault’s plant in Maubeuge, France
Ultra low-consumption diesel and gasoline engines, including a 1.5 liter diesel
engine, manufactured by Renault in Valladolid (Spain), for the Mercedes
A and B Class
FOR NISSAN AND DAIMLER:
Production of Mercedes-Benz 4-cylinder gasoline engines at Nissan’s new
powertrain assembly facility in Decherd, Tennessee
A Daimler 2.2 liter turbo diesel engine, coupled with a 7-speed automatic
or 6-speed manual gearbox for the Q50, Infiniti’s new flagship Sedan
Cross supply of Mercedes Canter – Nissan Atlas trucks in Japan
A future luxury entry-level Infiniti compact car co-developed on the Mercedes
Front Wheel Drive architecture used for Class A and Class B models
Research and development on next-generation Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle
Daimler also granted Nissan a license to manufacture automatic transmissions
(9 speed) with its latest technology for use in Nissan and Infiniti vehicles
FOR RENAULT, NISSAN AND DAIMLER:
Renault-Nissan and Daimler are jointly developing a new family of three- and fourcylinder gasoline engines with turbocharging and direct fuel injection. The engines
feature advanced technology with significantly improved fuel efficiency.

ALLIANCE BOARD
The Alliance Board is the common governance body of the Alliance, held by
Renault-Nissan BV, headquartered in Amsterdam, with 50% shareholdings by
both companies.
It is formally composed of three Renault senior executives and three Nissan
senior executives, and it is supported by the full Executive Committee of both
companies. It is chaired by Renault-Nissan Alliance Chairman and CEO Carlos
Ghosn.
The board focuses on strategic direction, significant new opportunities for
collaboration, and the progress of the Alliance relative to industry benchmarks.
Alliance Board Meetings typically include a focus on:
team work
RNBV DIRECTORS
In May 2009, in the midst of the global economic slowdown, the Renault-Nissan
Alliance created a small team of dedicated Alliance directors to accelerate
synergies and best-practice sharing. The directors foster deeper, broader
cooperation to enhance performance of all partners.
The Alliance Managing Directors are responsible for the operations of Alliance
functions for both partners.
Alliance Directors advise teams in partner companies and accelerate bestpractice sharing across the Alliance to help increase synergies. They may oppose
any measures taken by Renault or Nissan that run counter to the development
of synergies, referring the matter to the executive committee of the company
concerned or even, ultimately, the Alliance Board.
