  implementing convergence plans in four key areas: Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply
  Chain Management, Purchasing, and Human Resources.
- Converged business functions become official 1 April and are expected to have
  an immediate positive effect on operational performance.
- Newly appointed Alliance Executive Vice Presidents will take charge of
  increasing integration in each function.

Management teams and the boards of Renault and Nissan finalized the convergence plans following consultations with employee representatives. The Alliance initially launched convergence study projects in late January in four key areas: Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management, Purchasing, and Human Resources.

Under the plan, these functions will be jointly managed by Renault and Nissan, with a newly appointed Alliance Executive Vice President leading each function, and a new management committee to oversee implementation.

"Convergence within these four key business functions will result in an immediate increase in efficiency and leverage our size to achieve competitive economies of scale," said Renault-Nissan Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn. "The synergies will then enable us to deliver higher-value vehicles to customers and stay at the leading edge of innovation."

Four Converged Alliance Functions with New Leaders

- Engineering: Renault and Nissan will combine Common Module Family
  engineering, advanced research, powertrain development (including electric vehicles),
  systems engineering and testing facilities and services. Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi, Alliance
  Director of Platforms and Parts, is appointed Alliance Executive Vice President,
  Alliance Technology Development, for the new converged Alliance function.
- Manufacturing Engineering & Supply Chain Management: The new Alliance
  converged manufacturing function will cover global industrial strategy (including
  sourcing), production process engineering, production control and supply chain
  management. Shohei Kimura, Nissan Corporate Vice President for Vehicle Production
  Engineering, is appointed Alliance Executive Vice President, Manufacturing Engineering
  and Supply Chain Management.
- Purchasing: Renault and Nissan have enjoyed an integrated purchasing
  organization for more than a decade. But convergence of major engineering and
  manufacturing activities will drive greater purchasing synergies and more economies of
  scale. Christian Vandenhende, Managing Director of the Renault-Nissan Purchasing
  Organization, is appointed Alliance Executive Vice President, Alliance Purchasing.
