Renault has confirmed that a board meeting is expected today.
Reuters noted that Carlos Ghosn, who is chief executive of both carmakers, may lead any discussions about how the Renault-Nissan Alliance moves forward.
In recent months Ghosn has appeared to dampen down the possibility of discord or disagreement within the Alliance, or any counter move to alter the capital alliance. Analysts have speculated that Paris is interested in increasing its say in the running of Renault, amid reports that some inside Renault are becoming concerned about ‘Nissanisation’.
