Linked by cross-shareholdings, Renault and Nissan are united for performance through a coherent strategy, common goals and principles, results-driven synergies and shared best practices. They respect and reinforce their respective identities and brands.

In 2005 the global sales amount to 5.9 million vehicles and represent 9% of the worldwide market. The Renault-Nissan Alliance ranks among the world's leading four automakers. It includes five brands: Nissan and Infiniti for the Nissan group and Renault, Dacia and Samsung for the Renault group.

The Alliance develops and implements a strategy of profitable growth and sets itself the following three objectives:

• To be recognized by customers as being among the best three automotive groups in the quality and value of its products and services in each region and market segment.
• To be among the best three automotive groups in key technologies, each partner being a leader in specific domains of excellence.
• To consistently generate a total operating profit among the top three automotive groups in the world, by maintaining a high operating profit margin and pursuing growth.   

On the strength of the numerous synergies generated by the Alliance over the past five years in engineering, manufacturing, sales, IT and purchasing and the performance of both companies, Renault and Nissan are actively present on most of the major international markets.
