General Motors says it is on track to launch more than 20 new and refreshed models in the world's biggest auto market despite the pandemic's impact.
The Detroit-based automaker said it was on track to launch more than 20 new and refreshed models in the world’s biggest auto market despite the pandemic’s impact.
The COVID-19 curbs introduced in China to fight the worst outbreak in two years caused auto sales in the country to plunge in March, with automakers like Tesla feeling the pain of limits on production. GM’s sales fell 21.4% to 613,000 vehicles in China in the first quarter compared with a year earlier. Sales of its top-selling Chevrolet brand declined nearly 20% in the same period.
The lockdown, one of the biggest tests for China’s “zero-COVID” strategy, has forced automakers and suppliers to either try to adapt with extreme measures to keep factories running or to shut down and risk delayed shipments at a time when demand for vehicles is strong.started easing its lockdown measures in some areas on Monday despite reporting more than 25,000 new COVID-19 infections.
GM had said in March its manufacturing facilities were operating normally in Shanghai and were not affected by the city’s lockdown measures.
