Paris — The CEO of Fiat Chrysler remains open to the possibility of resuming merger talks with France’s Renault, months after talks between the two vehicle makers aimed at forging an industry powerhouse broke down, according to an interview published on Monday.
Fiat walked away after growing frustrated with tensions between Renault’s executives and the French state, which holds a 15% stake and double the voting rights. Renault chair Jean-Dominique Senard publicly blamed the French state for scuppering the deal, a charge rejected by finance minister Bruno Le Maire.Mounting friction between Renault and alliance partner Nissan also cast a pall over the Fiat negotiations, with Japanese executives furious at having been kept in the dark about the plan.
Renault owns 43% of Nissan, which in turn has just a 15% stake in Renault and which carries no voting rights.
