Old partner Nissan left sidelined by Renault-Fiat mergerNissan, a long-time Renault partner, has been left sidelined by a potential tie-up between the French firm and Fiat-Chrysler, just as the beleaguered Japanese firm battles to recover from the arrest of former boss Carlos Ghosn. “It’s an ill thought-out and badly conceived plan,” fumed one source close to Nissan, who did not wish to be identified, in response to the Fiat-Chrysler “50/50” merger proposal that would potentially create the world’s third-largest carmaker. It is a bitter pill to swallow for Nissan, which appeared to be completely left in the dark about the project and is already battling falling sales amid reputational damage from the downfall of Ghosn, who is fighting financial misconduct charges.
