Analysts expect Renault to become a frontrunner in the bidding process, given the synergies that the deal would bring to its Korean unit, Renault Samsung.
The shortlisted companies will conduct preliminary due diligence for about a month before submitting binding bids by July 20. A preferred bidder will be chosen in August.
