News Release Details

SHANGHAI – General Motors and its joint ventures delivered more than 613,000 vehicles in China in the first quarter of 2022 amid the ongoing semiconductor shortage and COVID-19 resurgence.

In response to the challenging macro environment, GM has developed a continuity plan on a global basis with its partners and suppliers to mitigate the uncertainty. Its operations and brands remained resilient, focusing on delivering the best products and services to offer customers peace of mind. New energy vehicle (NEV) sales across brands served as a robust growth momentum driver.
