TOKYO -- The leaders of automakers Renault, Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi Motors agreed on Thursday to drop their system of de facto one-man rule in favor of a "rule by committee" style of decision-making, Nikkei has learned.

Renault interim chief Thierry Bollore, Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa and Mitsubishi CEO Osamu Masuko agreed to "remain fully committed to the alliance," according to a short joint statement issued after their first trilateral summit since last week's arrest of former alliance head Carlos Ghosn.
