The world’s biggest car-making alliance between Nissan Motor Co. and Renault SA is in tatters, according to the fugitive former boss Carlos Ghosn, who built up the Franco-Japanese partnership over two decades.
“What we see today is a masquerade of an alliance that obviously with all the people involved is not going to go anywhere,” Ghosn said at a news conference in Beirut on Wednesday after fleeing charges of financial crimes in Japan. “I’m having a hard time seeing any strategic direction.”
