TOKYO/PARIS -- To get an idea of why Renault is in such haste to press for a merger with Nissan Motor, one should adopt an approach similar to the financial misconduct case launched against the former alliance boss Carlos Ghosn: follow the money.
Renault once again floated the idea of a business integration to its more successful Japanese partner earlier this month, Nikkei reported. The move came soon after the two sides declared an unofficial cease-fire on that debate following Ghosn's arrest in Japan last November.
