After a meeting with Renault, Nissan doesn't seem to have any major objections to the French car maker's potential merger with Fiat Chrysler.

Nissan has reportedly rebuffed plans to merge with Renault, but the Japanese automaker is unlikely to oppose the proposed merger between Fiat Chrysler (FCA) and Renault.

"Overall, we don't see any particularly negative aspect," Hiroto Saikawa, Nissan CEO, told reporters (including those from Reuters) after a meeting of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance board.

He also said whether FCA and Renault should merge is an "issue for the two companies to decide", although he did note "if possible we would like to see an outcome which is also supportive of our interests".

Reuters reports Nissan believes it could profit from the merger, should it go ahead. Renault and Nissan pay royalties to each other whenever they use platforms, technology or drivetrains developed by the other party.

According to one source: "FCA, if everything went well, would become another ‘client’ of ours and that’s good. More business for us."
