"Renault's commitment through 2009 which is based on very clear objectives is not based on Southeast Asia. It is based on expansion in Russia. India. Eastern Europe and South America," he said. "But obviously we are not going to get Southeast Asia for others particularly where Nissan already has a strong presence."The Japanese automakers CEO has intimated his skepticism on Thailand's goal to develop itself into an export hub for small economical cars in the same way it built a successful small pick-up truck industry.
