The DiDi Auto Alliance is an intelligent ride-sharing alliance
initiated by DiDi that empowers and redefines smart mobility. By
promoting the new energy automotive industry with partners along the
value chain, it aims to unite all members to transform the business
model of the automotive industry, and establish itself as the world's
largest full-capacity vehicle operator platform.

Ogi Redzic, senior vice president of Connected Vehicles and
Mobility Services for Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi said, "We share a
common vision with DiDi in our pursuit of clean, safe mobility for
all. China is a key market for Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi and we plan
to work in close partnership with market leaders like DiDi to shape
the future of smart mobility in China."

Cheng Wei, Founder and CEO of DiDi, said, "We will empower our
partners by providing collaboration aspects ranging from auto leasing
and sales, auto finance, auto service, fleet operation to car-sharing
solutions. The goal is to create more value for our partners, user
community, and the society."

Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi signed a memorandum of understanding
with DiDi in February to explore the possibility of future business
cooperation on a new electric vehicle car-sharing program in the
People's Republic of China. The memorandum of understanding signed
with DiDi is in line with the exploration of new mobility services at
the Alliance, including the launch of robo-vehicle ride-hailing
services, as part of the Alliance 2022 strategic midterm plan
launched last year by Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi.

As the world's largest automotive group in unit sales, the
Alliance is accelerating convergence and synergy initiatives in a
range of new automotive technologies. By the end of its strategic
plan, the Alliance will launch 12 pure electric models worldwide,
utilizing common EV platforms and components, while also bringing to
market 40 vehicles worldwide with autonomous drive technology and
developing robo-vehicle ride-hailing services.

To support this plan, the Alliance also launched Alliance
Ventures, a new corporate venture capital fund that plans to invest
up to $1 billion to support open innovation over the next five years.
