Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance chief executive Carlos Ghosn says he has no interest in reintroducing Renault to the U.S. market.
In an in-depth interview with Automotive News, Ghosn said Renault is already chasing the emerging markets of China and Russia and doesn�t need to compete in the United States.
�I'm not thinking about that. There is no opportunity for it in this midterm plan. The biggest priority for Renault in this plan is in China and Russia.
�For me, there are already enough engines for growth not to need to add another one,� Ghosn said.
Renault�s most direct French rival, Peugeot, is taking a different approach. Led by Carlos Tavares, the automaker is slowly plotting a return to the United States.
Fortunately for the Alliance, rolling out Renault models to the U.S. isn�t a necessity. Both Mitsubishi and Nissan sell a plethora of models stateside and Ghosn cites China, Russia, and Brazil as the three markets that�ll have the biggest impact on increasing Alliance sales by 40 per cent between now and 2022.
