Nissan's president, Nishikawa, was asked to resign promptly by the Board of Directors because of losing centripetal power due to unclear compensation issues, and so on.
Renault's CEO Borolere, CEO of Nissan, on the 10th, said Yasuhiro Yamauchi, Executive Officer, who will act as a proxy until the successor to President Nishikawa is decided at a press conference held at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. On that day, it was revealed that he had exchanged opinions at the video conference.
Among them, Boroleo CEO talked about autonomous driving technology, and emphasized the idea that even if Nissan's top change was decided, the relationship between the two companies discussing strategies for the future was not shaken.
In addition, he said, “Any change will lead to the benefit of the business alliance if Nissan's management becomes more reliable.” He expressed his desire to reestablish management as soon as possible under the new top.
On the other hand, as to what kind of person he wants to succeed President Nishikawa, he only stated that he would like to refrain from commenting by making a decision by the board of directors.
