General Motors is among the world’s largest automobile manufacturers. The company has important brands such as Cadillac and Chevrolet. In this way, the company reaches good sales figures in the USA, although not worldwide.
General Motors withdrew from the European continent nearly 5 years ago after selling the German automaker Opel to the PSA Group. After this withdrawal, the company continued to carry out its activities mostly in the Americas. According to the statements made, this situation may end in the coming days and the company may start to serve in Europe again.
General Motors will return to the European continent as an electric car manufacturer!
According to a new report published by the Detroit Free Press, GM is preparing to return to the European continent after many years. General Motors CEO Mary Barra made some statements during the Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles earlier this week. Stating that the company will return to Europe as an electric car manufacturer during these statements, Barra said the following:

“About five years ago, Opel rebranded our company as Stellantis. We sold to e and we have no regrets about the internal combustion car market. But we are now looking at the growth opportunity we have because we can re-enter Europe as an all-electric player. I look forward to that.”
Although the company has completely withdrawn, sales of the Chevrolet Corvette and some Cadillac models continue with a limited number of dealers in some parts of Europe. Unlike other models, these cars are a bit more luxurious and special. Therefore, General Motors is considering returning to the continent to take a share of the growing electric car market and reach more customers.

Although the company currently has many electric cars, this return will likely not be soon. After the company’s number of electric cars exceeds a certain level, General Motors will again be actively involved in the European continent. So, what are your thoughts?
