GM Group sold 6.0 million vehicles in 2021
- The GM group sold 6.0 million light vehicles (PC+LCV) in 2021, down 8.3% compared to 2020, after a drop of 12.4% in 2020 compared to 2019. The fall continues for the first American manufacturer, ex-first world manufacturer, which has even lost its leading position on the US market which it has held for more than 90 years. And fortunately the WulingHongguang Mini EV sold as much in 2021 in China (427,685 copies), because the fall would have been even more brutal.
Note: Wuling vehicles are fully counted as GM vehicles while GM's share in Wuling's capital is only 33%. As a result, the GM group falls to sixth place in the world, behind Stellantis and Hyundai-Kia, while it was still fourth in 2020.

This brand was phased out in 2021, after the removal of the Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer brands and the sale of the Opel and Vauxhall subsidiaries. Thanks to its Chinese subsidiaries Baojun and Wuling, the GM group has for several years sold more vehicles in China than in the United States.
- In 2021, the global sales of the GM group break down as follows:
§ China remains its largest market, with 2.60 million vehicles, or 43% of its global sales.
§ The USA remains its second market, with 2.20 million vehicles, or 37% of its global sales.
These two markets represent 80% of the GM Group's global sales in 2021.
- It is to be noted that the manufacturer withdrew from the European market in 2017, then from the Russian, Indian and Australian markets.
