Daimler and Renault-Nissan Alliance honored for Cross-Cultural Cooperation

• Award in the „Industrial Cooperation" category

• Daimler Chairman of the Board of Management Dieter Zetsche: "The partnership has grown substantially beyond its initial scope"

Paris/Stuttgart—Renault SAS and Daimler AG have won the prestigious 2013 Franco-German Business Award for their industrial cooperation, which has expanded significantly since Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance joined forces in 2010.

Awarded by the Franco-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the prize recognizes French and German companies that are benchmarks for cooperation in four areas: industrial cooperation, the environment, innovation and new technologies, and human resources.

"By every objective measure, this cooperation is one of the most productive in the auto industry, enabling all partners to increase economies of scale while keeping our brands and products distinct," said Carlos Ghosn, chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance.

"The partnership has grown substantially beyond its initial scope," added Dieter Zetsche, Daimler Chairman of the Board of Management and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars. "What started as a cooperation with projects focused primarily on small cars in Europe is now a diverse portfolio of projects globally, and we see no barriers to future growth."
