Vehicle manufacturers are continuing to cosy up as the industry moves towards electrification with Daimler, Renault and Nissan the latest to tighten their links.
In April this year, the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG announced a strategic co-operation that involved an equity exchange. Renault-Nissan took a 3.1 per cent stake in Daimler (the company responsible for brands such as Mercedes-Benz and Smart) while Daimler took a 3.1 per cent stake in Renault and a 3.1 per cent stake in Nissan.
