The automaker, which has a large plant in Washington, sold more than eight million vehicles for the first time, emerging markets and the U.S. showed the greatest growth. This is the third year in a row that increase sales and alliances teams now offer a 10.7% share of the global market, up from 10.3% a year earlier. Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn said: "This alliance leverages the U.S. economic revival and gained significant market share in the region that will drive growth in the 21st century.
