Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's proposed merger with Renault SA would create the third-largest global automaker with a significant presence in both the North American and European markets.

FCA proposed May 27 that it and Renault each hold 50% of the combined entity, with shareholders of both companies receiving an equivalent equity stake in the yet-to-be-named company.

If the all-share deal were to come to fruition, it would create the world's third-largest global automaker trailing Toyota Motor Corp. and Volkswagen AG. The new company would have annual revenue of nearly €170 billion and net profit of more than €8 billion. The company would also be heavily exposed to North America and Europe, the biggest geographic markets for FCA and Renault respectively.

S&P Global Market Intelligence takes a closer look at the potential merged company by highlighting some key metrics.
