 Nissan Motor Co Ltd is pressing its French partner Renault SA to cut its stake in the Japanese automaker by as much as possible, ideally to 15, and may consider raising funds to buy back the shares, Reuters has reported. The newswire said the demands were made in exchange for Nissan agreeing to invest in Renaults new unit being set up to house its electric vehicle EV assets, citing a source familiar with the matter who sought anonymity as the talks are not public.
