GM Daewoo supplies most of the Chevrolet branded models sold on the continent.
Chevrolet’s European sales fell 16% last year to 426,000 vehicles, mostly due to the slump in Russia, the company’s largest market on the continent, where sales of all vehicles about halved.
The company was able to boost sales in western European markets, however, which Brannon attributed to its “very good offer in the mini and small segments”.
Upcoming new models include the redesigned Spark and Brannon was confident Chevrolet would continue to win new customers in Europe.
