Renault SA’s board postponed a decision on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s proposed merger, extending discussions for a second day after its partner Nissan Motor Co. put up resistance to the deal.

Directors of the French automaker “decided to continue to study with interest the opportunity of such a combination and to extend the discussions,” Renault’s board said Tuesday in a statement. Another meeting is scheduled for late Wednesday, it said.
