According to Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, "Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance are combining common interests to form, "A promising foundation for a successful, strategically sound cooperation that is based on a number of very concrete and attractive project cooperations. Our skills complement each other very well. Right away, we are strengthening our competitiveness in the small and compact car segment and are reducing our CO_2 footprint -both on a long-term basis. We knowrnthat we can make brand-typical products based on shared architectures. The individual brand identities will remain unaffected."rnAlthough the primary focus is conventional vehicles and powertrains, many of the new alliance's goals specifically relate to HEV, PHEV, and pure EV development and commercialization.
