PARIS (Reuters) - Jean-Dominique Senard, the new chairman of French carmaker Renault RENA.PA, said he would focus on talks to cement Renault's alliance partnership with Japanese peers Nissan 7201.T and Mitsubishi 7211.T.
“It’s important that this alliance remains extremely strong,” Senard told reporters at a news conference where Renault also unveiled the promotion of deputy CEO Thierry Bollore to chief executive.
"It's our compulsory duty to go forward together," said Senard, who joins Renault from tire maker Michelin MICP.PA where he was CEO.
