Renault takes over Nissan in Romania

Renault Romania, importer of the autos made by the French group, at the beginning of 2003 took over the import and distribution of Nissan cars. “After the distribution agreements between Renault and Nissan were developed in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Morocco, this strategy is now being enforced in Central Europe,” Renault Romania officials say. As a rule, the partnership relies on the company which is best positioned in the respective country. In other words, Renault is the best-selling imported brand in Romania, thus it took over the import and distribution operations for Nissan. Renault also became the main shareholder of the Romanian carmaker Automobile Dacia in September 1999. ZF
