Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance The Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance is a Franco-Japanese strategic partnership between automobile manufacturers Renault, based in Paris, France, Nissan, based in Yokohama, Japan, and Mitsubishi Motors, based in Tokyo, Japan, which together sell more than 1 in 10 cars worldwide. Originally known as the Renault–Nissan Alliance, Renault and Nissan became strategic partners in 1999, and have nearly 450,000 employees and control ten major brands: Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Infiniti, Renault Samsung Motors, Dacia, Alpine, Datsun, Venucia, and Lada. The car group sold 8.3 million cars worldwide in 2013, behind Toyota, General Motors, and Volkswagen Group for total volume. The Alliance adopted its current name in September 2017, one year after Nissan acquired a controlling interest in Mitsubishi and subsequently making Mitsubishi an equal partner in the Alliance.
Mitsubishi Motors platforms Mitsubishi platforms are the automobile platforms used by Mitsubishi Motors for their production automobiles. Mirroring trends throughout the automotive industry, the company is reducing the number of distinct platforms, and increasing platform sharing across its ranges. Following DaimlerChrysler's purchase of a controlling stake in Mitsubishi in 2001, part of the subsequent cost-cutting drive initiated by Rolf Eckrodt upon his employment as chief executive officer of MMC was to reduce the number of platforms from twelve to six. Similarly, Stefan Jacoby, the CEO of Mitsubishi Motor Sales Europe, expressed concern in 2002 that the company would need to rationalize its platforms, even if the number of models sold were to increase.
