- In April 2010, Renault-Nissan and Daimler groups signed an agreement for the production of vehicles, engines and transmissions/powertrains in current plants of each of the manufacturers or future common plants (including Mexico). Achievements through  this collaboration are already visible: the current Mercedes Citan, a rebadged Renault Kangoo, the new Twingo and Smart Forfour or shortly the future Daimler light utility vehicle based on the NV350.

- A new project has been added to the industrial agreements between Renault-Nissan and Daimler groups. This segment of mid-size pickups is the one aimed by this agreement. Renault and Mercedes brands will now have their own pickups, derived from the next Nissan Navara (called NP300 or Frontier in some markets), which will be released this year.

- This pickup will be produced under the Renault brand in Mexico starting in 2016 (at the Nissan plant of Cuernavaca, which already produces the Navara) and sold in Mexico and southern markets. It will be produced under the Mercedes brand and produced in Argentina (in the Renault plant of Cordoba) for North and South American markets.

- Nissan, Renault and Mercedes pickups will also be made at the Barcelona plant for European and African markets. The objectives are to reach 120 000 vehicles a year in Barcelona for all three brands, 110 000 vehicles in Cuernavaca (Mexico) and 70 000 vehicles in Cordoba (Argentina), a total of 300 000 vehicles a year at the three sites. For Renault and Mercedes, this will be their first mid-size pickup.
