{{Japan’s Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) and France-based Renault SA (RENA.PA) plan to use common parts in the production of new versions of the Nissan March and Renault Clio to reduce costs by about 30%.}}<\/p>\n
The common parts in the two models, expected to roll out in 2015, are likely to constitute about half of the total parts used, the Japanese media reported.<\/p>\n
The companies will gradually extend this unified format – currently focused on about 3 million small automobiles a year – to other models, the paper said.<\/p>\n
Company officials are meeting to finalize a strategy for using the common parts from the design stage.<\/p>\n
Nissan and Renault, which have partnered since 1999, have been exploring the idea of a unified design for midsize automobiles for four years.<\/p>\n
