Renault and Nissan are reviewing the ownership structure of their car making alliance, but are unlikely to merge into a single listed entity this year or next, Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn said on Wednesday, May 23.

Renault and Nissan are discussing ways to strengthen their lopsided two-decade old alliance as the industry shifts to meet new challenges in an era of self-driving and electric vehicles, reported Bloomberg.
