GM announces Chevrolet will be axed in Europe by the end of 2015, will focus on Opel/Vauxhall

 

Blaming low market share

General Motors has disclosed plans to withdraw Chevrolet from Europe by the end of 2015.

GM has made a rather huge announcement today by revealing their intentions to retire the Chevrolet brand from Europe within the next two years. The large automotive conglomerate says they have taken this decision due to Chevrolet's failure of building a market share on the old continent and also due to the difficult economic situation in Europe.

After Chevrolet's European exit, General Motors will focus its attention on the Opel and Vauxhall duo as they have "growing confidence in the Opel and Vauxhall brands in Europe.” GM vice chairman said Chevrolet's retirement from Europe has nothing to do with the partnership between GM and PSA Peugeot Citroën as this decision has been taken "independent of the PSA relationship."

• Opel/Vauxhall to compete as GM’s mainstream brands across Europe
• Chevrolet to focus on iconic products in Europe
• Cadillac to expand in Europe

 

DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to accelerate its progress in Europe by bolstering its brands in the mainstream and premium segments.

Beginning in 2016, GM will compete in Europe’s volume markets under its respected Opel and Vauxhall brands. The company’s Chevrolet brand will no longer have a mainstream presence in Western and Eastern Europe, largely due to a challenging business model and the difficult economic situation in Europe. 

Chevrolet, the fourth-largest global automotive brand, will instead tailor its presence to offering select iconic vehicles – such as the Corvette – in Western and Eastern Europe, and will continue to have a broad presence in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. 

This will improve the Opel and Vauxhall brands and reduce the market complexity associated with having Opel and Chevrolet in Western and Eastern Europe. In Russia and the CIS, the brands are clearly defined and distinguished and, as a result, are more competitive within their respective segments.

Cadillac, which is finalizing plans for expanding in the European market, will enhance and expand its distribution network over the next three years as it prepares for numerous product introductions.

“Europe is a key region for GM that will benefit from a stronger Opel and Vauxhall and further emphasis on Cadillac,” said GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson. “For Chevrolet, it will allow us to focus our investments where the opportunity for growth is greatest.”

“This is a win for all four brands. It’s especially positive for car buyers throughout Europe, who will be able to purchase vehicles from well-defined, vibrant GM brands,” Akerson said.

Chevrolet will work closely with its dealer network in Western and Eastern Europe to define future steps while ensuring it can honor obligations to existing customers in the coming years.

“Our customers can rest assured that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet vehicles, and for vehicles purchased between now and the end of 2015,” said Thomas Sedran, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe. “We want to thank our customers and dealers for their loyalty to the Chevrolet brand here in Europe.”

The majority of the Chevrolet portfolio sold in Western and Eastern Europe is produced in South Korea. As a result, GM will increase its focus on driving profitability, managing costs and maximizing sales opportunities in its Korean operations as the company looks for new ways to improve business results in the fast-changing and highly competitive global business environment.

“We will continue to become more competitive in Korea,” said GM Korea President and CEO Sergio Rocha. “In doing so, we will position ourselves for long-term competitiveness and sustainability in the best interests of our employees, customers and stakeholders, while remaining a significant contributor to GM’s global business.”

With the decision that Chevrolet will no longer have a mainstream presence in Western and Eastern Europe, GM expects to record net special charges of $700 million to $1 billion primarily in the fourth quarter of 2013 and continuing through the first half of 2014. The special charges include asset impairments, dealer restructuring, sales incentives and severance-related costs, and will pave the way for continued improvement in GM’s European operations through the further strengthening of the Opel and Vauxhall brands. Approximately $300 million of the net special charges will be non-cash expenses. In addition, GM expects to incur restructuring costs related to these actions that will not be treated as special charges, but will impact GM International Operations earnings in 2014.

Компания Chevrolet может покинуть европейский рынок! С таким сенсационным заявлением выступил вице-президент концерна General Motors Стив Гирски, передает агентство Automotive News. Благодаря этому GM сможет сосредоточиться на продвижении в Старом Свете бренда Opel. «Мы считаем, что General Motors только выиграет, если Opel/Vauxhall станут сильнее», - заявил господин Гирски.

 
Однако в России Chevrolet останется. Ведь сейчас эта марка занимает у нас пятое место по продажам, проигрывая только Lada, Renault, Kia и Hyundai. А вот в Европе доля Chevrolet очень невелика, и уход этой марки с рынка массовых моделей не нанесет урона GM.

Правда, купить в будущем Chevrolet европейцы все же смогут. Однако речь будет идти только о культовых моделях, а также об автомобилях, предназначенных главным образом для рынка США (Volt, Corvette, Camaro и так далее). «Корейских» же Chevrolet, которые сейчас в основном и продаются в Европе, будет со временем все меньше и меньше.

Зато GM начнет активнее продвигать бренд Cadillac – появятся новые модели, да и количество дилеров будет расти.

странно... в Питере наоборот закрыли отдел кадиллак - типо убыточный бренд, и шоу рум кадиллаков отдали под жирные опеля(типа зафира / антара в фуле и опц там тоже естессно стоят. А кадиллаки теперь стоят рядом с авео и крузами и распродаются со скидосами. Остатки что есть - сказали распродадут и на этом все.
