The Renault-Nissan alliance and Bajaj Auto signed a memorandum of understanding for developing the low-cost car. According to the MoU, the design, engineering, manufacturing and supply base expertise to create the product will be executed by Bajaj with the support of the Renault-Nissan alliance. Marketing and distribution will be led by the Renault-Nissan with the support of Bajaj.
The new understanding between Bajaj and Renault-Nissan alliance varies from the original plan announced in May 2008 to form a joint venture in which Bajaj will hold a 50 per cent stake, while Renault and Nissan will hold 25 per cent stake each.
The companies reviewed their plan in November 2009 and formulated a new strategy. In November 2009, the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Bajaj Auto Ltd announced their intention to partner on the development of an innovative new four-wheel product for the Indian and other emerging markets.
The low-cost car targets not only Indian market but also other emerging markets. The product is pitched against the Tata Nano. The product was initially scheduled to be launched in 2011. According to the new plan, the car will come out only in 2012.crackcrack
