===Alliances===
====Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi====
{{Main|Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance}}
For many years, Renault had a 43.4% stake in Nissan, thereby giving it effective control {{em|de jure}}, and Nissan held a 15% stake (with no voting rights) in Renault.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.renault.com/en/groupe/l-alliance-renault-nissan/pages/fonctionnement-et-structure.aspx |title=Renault-Nissan alliance website |publisher=Renault.com |access-date=10 April 2011}}</ref> {{As of|November 2023}} Renault owns 15% shares with voting rights. It has more shares in a French trust which it can use for voting in a few limited situations.<ref name=share/>

As well as sharing engines and joint-development of zero-emissions technology, Nissan increased its presence in Europe by badging various Renault van models such as the [[Renault Kangoo]]/[[Nissan Kubistar]], [[Renault Master]]/[[Nissan Interstar]] and the [[Renault Trafic]]/[[Nissan Primastar]]. Some passenger cars have also been badge-engineered, such as the Renault Clio-based [[Nissan Platina]] in Brazil. The "Renault Production System" standard used by all Renault factories borrowed extensively from the "Nissan Production Way" and resulted in Renault productivity improving by 15%. The alliance led to the loss of 21,000 jobs, and the closure of three assembly and two powertrain plants.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/DOCUMENT/PDF/ALLIANCE/HANDBOOK/2009/Alliance_FactsAndFigures_2009.pdf |title=cover_1 |access-date=10 April 2011 |archive-date=3 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110303192147/http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/DOCUMENT/PDF/ALLIANCE/HANDBOOK/2009/Alliance_FactsAndFigures_2009.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In March 2010 the Renault-Nissan alliance opened its first joint facility in [[Chennai]], India, investing 45&nbsp;billion rupees (US$991.1&nbsp;million).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.renault.com/en/groupe/renault-dans-le-monde/pages/renault-en-inde.aspx |title=Renault website |publisher=Renault.com |access-date=10 April 2011}}</ref> The facility builds the [[Nissan Micra]].

{{Main|Horse Powertrain|Renault Korea}}

In January 2022, Renault and Chinese manufacturer [[Geely]] signed an agreement by which Renault's South Korean subsidiary, [[Renault Korea Motors]], would produce vehicles based on Geely [[Compact Modular Architecture platform]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Renault Samsung to produce green cars developed by Renault Group and Geely |url=http://www.businesskorea.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=86712 |access-date=15 January 2022 |work=businesskorea.co.kr}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Renault will use Geely's CMA platform for (some of) its future cars |url=https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/renault-will-use-geely-s-cma-platform-for-some-of-its-future-cars/ |access-date=15 January 2022 |work=TopSpeed.com}}</ref> initially intended for the domestic market.

====Proposed alliances====

However, GM CEO [[Rick Wagoner|Richard Wagoner]] felt that an alliance would disproportionately benefit Renault's shareholders and that GM should receive compensation accordingly.
