Nissan discusses China plan

Article Abstract:

Nissan Motor Co. is hoping that its search for a Chinese manufacturing partner will give the Japanese automaker access to the possibly large and lucrative Chinese car market. Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. have already made inroads into the Chinese market, the former having found much success with the demand for its Accord sedan, the latter having just gained clearance to move into the market in 2002. Senior management at Nissan formulated the market expansion plan with the help of a team sent by Renault S.A., the French company that owns a controlling interest in Nissan, as part of an effort to boost the overall position of Nissan in the world market.
