The Alliance was launched in markets such as China, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Russia and African countries (it considers itself to already be the second largest motor group in Africa).Today, Nissan announced the start of the production of cars in Burma, an automobile market that opens itself after half a century of military dictatorship.

- The Japanese automaker said in a statement that its Malaysian partner Tan Chong Motors would build the largest automobile manufacturing site of Burma. The new plant should open in 2015 in the region of Bago and produce the Nissan Sunny (10 000 vehicles per year initially).

- Since the dissolution of the junta in March 2011 and the reforms initiated by the new government, most Western sanctions were lifted and foreign investors have flocked to the country, which remains today one of the world'spoorest countries. The Renault-Nissan group still thinks that this country has a great potential.

- Under the junta, buying a car was out of reach of most Burmese, due to prohibitive prices, especially related to very high import taxes, but the recent political changes and lower taxes led to an increase in vehicle demand.
