While Nissan sold 3.4 million vehicles last fiscal year, total calendar 2023 Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance sales volume of 6.4 million vehicles makes the group the fourth-largest vehicle seller in the world, behind Toyota at 11.2 million, Volkswagen at 9.2 million, and Hyundai/Kia with 7.3 million vehicles sold. Nissan's financial services subsidiary provides consumers with auto loans and leases but also finances Nissan's sales to its dealerships (known as floor-plan financing). Under a new alliance agreement, Nissan and Renault will have cross-shareholding capped at 15% voting rights for each company. Renault holds the remaining stake in Nissan through a French trust where the voting rights of such shares are “neutralized” for “most decisions” but retain the economic benefit.

General Motors Co. emerged from the bankruptcy of General Motors Corp. (old GM) in July 2009. GM has eight brands and operates under three segments: GM North America, GM International, and GM Financial. The United States now has four brands instead of eight under old GM. The company regained its US market share leadership in 2022, after losing it to Toyota due to the chip shortage in 2021. 2024's share was 17.0%. The Cruise autonomous vehicle arm, which GM now owns outright, has previously done driverless geofenced AV robotaxi services in San Francisco and other cities, but after a 2023 accident, GM decided that it will focus on personal AVs. GM Financial became the company's captive finance arm in 2010 via the purchase of AmeriCredit.
