Nissan rubbishes suggestion of Renault split

Nissan has said it is in no way not considering the dissolution of its alliance with Renault, which was shaken even further by the dramatic escape of former chairman Carlos Ghosn from a trial in Japan.

“The alliance is the source of Nissan’s competitiveness,” the Yokohama-based company said in a statement, pushing back against reports that its executives have looked at the possibility of breaking with the global carmaking partnership.
