TOKYO, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co's (7201.T) talks with Renault SA (RENA.PA) are focused on optimising their investment in electric vehicles and strengthening their competitiveness as equal partners, the Japanese automaker's CEO told Reuters on Friday.
Nissan Chief Executive Makoto Uchida declined to comment on whether an agreement could be reached this month.
But he said he was talking with Renault Chief Executive Luca de Meo every weekend and the talks would be "ongoing for the future."
Nissan is also considering investing in Renault's planned electric vehicle unit, the companies said.
"We want it to be an equal partnership," Uchida said, adding that an "equal partnership would make sense and that would speed up the collaboration even more."
