GM Middle East Reports Outstanding Q1 Results with 15% Sales Growth as it Continues to Deliver on Ambidextrous Strategy

General Motors (GM) Middle East today reported strong first quarter performance, further delivering on its’ ambidextrous regional business and growth strategy. The outstanding 15% sales growth for its core petrol-powered vehicle portfolio was driven by the automaker’s all-new 2021 Trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Captiva. Strengthening the foundations for the evolution of mobility, GM continues to forge ahead with its vision of Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion in the region due to its recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dubai Police for its OnStar technology and the prospect of robo-taxi autonomous vehicles hitting the roads in Dubai from 2023, thanks to GM-backed Cruise’s exclusive partnership with Dubai Roads and Transport (RTA).  

 

“Since the beginning of the year, we’ve made remarkable headway delivering on our ambidextrous business and growth strategy for the region: continuing to our drive towards GM’s global vision of Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion, while growing our Truck and SUVs franchises,” said Luay Al Shurafa, President and Managing Director, General Motors Africa and Middle East.
