GM: les ventes en Chine dépassent celles aux USA
DÉTROIT - Pour la première fois de son histoire, le constructeur automobile General Motors a vendu plus de véhicules en Chine qu'aux États-Unis l'an dernier.
Le géant de Détroit a vendu quelque 2,35 millions de voitures et de camions dans l'Empire du Milieu en 2010. C'est 136 000 de plus qu'en territoire américain.
Le nombre de véhicules vendus par GM en Chine a bondi de 29 pour cent, comparativement à 6,3 pour cent aux États-Unis.
À l'échelle mondiale, la croissance des ventes de GM s'est chiffrée à 12 pour cent.
Malgré ces gains spectaculaires, l'entreprise américaine n'a pas réussi à ravir à Toyota son titre de plus gros constructeur automobile du monde.
La société japonaise a en effet vendu 8,42 millions de véhicules l'an dernier, soit 30 000 de plus que GM.
Le géant américain s'attend à poursuivre sa croissance en 2011, entre autres grâce aux camionnettes qui sont particulièrement populaires auprès des PME. Ces dernières recommencent à investir après deux ans à se serrer la ceinture.
L'entreprise a d'ailleurs annoncé lundi qu'elle ajoutait un quart de travail à son usine de camionnettes de Flint, au Michigan, afin de répondre à la demande. Cela entraînera le rappel de 650 employés.
Les analystes de l'industrie pensent que la société pourrait reprendre la première place à Toyota dès cette année. Le constructeur japonais détient ce rang depuis 2008. Il avait auparavant toujours appartenu à GM.
GM sales in China exceed those in the U.S.
DETROIT - For the first time in its history, the automaker General Motors sold more vehicles in China that in the United States last year.
The Detroit giant has sold about 2.35 million cars and trucks in the Middle Kingdom in 2010. It's more than 136,000 U.S. territory.
The number of vehicles sold by GM in China jumped 29 percent, compared to 6.3 percent in the United States.
Globally, the growth of GM's sales amounted to 12 percent.
Despite these spectacular gains, the U.S. company failed to wrest from his Toyota as the biggest carmaker in the world.
The Japanese company has indeed sold 8.42 million vehicles last year, or 30,000 more than GM.
The U.S. giant expected to continue growing in 2011, partly thanks to vans that are particularly popular with SMEs. The latter will again invest after two years to tighten their belts.
The company also announced Monday that it added a shift at its truck plant in Flint, Mich., to meet demand. This will cause the recall of 650 employees.
Industry analysts believe the company could regain the top spot to Toyota this year. The Japanese manufacturer has this rank since 2008. He had previously been owned by GM.
