The Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance is a Franco-Japanese strategic partnership between automobile manufacturers Renault, based in Paris, France, Nissan, based in Yokohama, Japan, and Mitsubishi Motors, based in Tokyo, Japan, which together sell more than 1 in 10 cars worldwide. Originally known as the Renault–Nissan Alliance, Renault and Nissan became strategic partners in 1999, and have nearly 450,000 employees and control ten major brands: Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi,Infiniti, Renault Samsung Motors, Dacia, Alpine, Datsun, Venucia, and Lada. The car group sold 8.3 million cars worldwide in 2013, behind Toyota, General Motors, and Volkswagen Group for total volume. The Alliance adopted its current name in September 2017, one year after Nissan acquired a controlling interest in Mitsubishi and subsequently making Mitsubishi an equal partner in the Alliance.

As of December 2016^[update], the Alliance is the world's leading plug-in electric vehicle manufacturer, with global sales since 2010 of almost 425,000 pure electric vehicles, including those manufactured by Mitsubishi, now part of the Alliance. The top selling vehicle of the Alliance EV line-up is the Nissan Leaf all-electric car. The Leaf is also the world's best-selling highway-capable plug-in electric car in history, with more than 300,000 units sold worldwide through January 2018.
