GM’S “Go-to-market approach”
• Our 5 P’s
− The right Partners within GM to provide products
for the range of price points required
− The right Partners in market place for
manufacturing
− The right Partners for component supply
− The right Partners in the market for vehicle
distribution and repair
− The right Partner philosophy with our customers
The right Partners within GM for Product :
• European
Opel & SAAB
• North American
Cadillac / Hummer /
Chevrolet SUVs
• Asian [GM DAT]
SUVs
Chevrolet cars and
• Russian [GM AvtoVaz] Chevrolet Niva
Real evidence of GM’s Globalisation
and “One Company” approach.
The right Partners within GM for Product:
The right Partners for manufacturing
• GM and GM DAT (formerly Daewoo) have a long history of
manufacturing in the C&E Region from early 90’s
• GM in late 90’s actually stopped vehicle manufacturing in 3 GM plants
in the region – Hungary, Poland (Warsaw), and Turkey
• Daewoo had 4 regional plants (licensed assemblers) all still operating
(in Ukraine, Poland (FSO), Uzbekistan, & Romania)
• 180,000 GM DAT vehicle kits assembled in these plants are not
recorded in GM Sales in the region
• Recent developments include the new GM plant in St Petersburg and
manufacturing licenses being granted to Zastava in Serbia, Azia Avto
in Kazakhstan, and FSO in Poland
• Currently GM vehicles are manufactured or assembled at 9 locations
in the region

“Emerging”
Fact:
They have “Emerged” and are our markets of
“Growth & Opportunity”
