Tokyo | London | Nissan is searching for an anchor investor to help it survive a make-or-break year as longtime partner Renault sells down its holding in the crisis-hit Japanese car maker.
Two people with knowledge of the talks said Nissan was seeking a long-term, steady shareholder such as a bank or insurance group to replace some of Renault’s equity holding, as Nissan finalises the terms of its new electric vehicle partnership with arch-rival Honda.
