GM Daewoo said yesterday that General Motors decided to sell GM Daewoo cars under the Chevrolet brand to European customers.
With the decision, GM Daewoo cars will not be sold as Daewoos overseas except for Vietnam, where assembly facilities are located, the company told the paper. Daewoos are sold under five brands – Suzuki, Buick, Pontiac, Daewoo and Chevrolet – in over 140 countries.
GM Daewoo is expected to export over 800,000 units this year. It exported 224,000 units in 2002, when GM bought Daewoo Motor, the report added.
