General Motors Company, commonly known as GM (General Motors Corporation before 2009), is an American multinational automotive corporation headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, and among the world’s largest automakers by vehicle unit sales, employing 202,000 people and doing business in some 157 countries. General Motors is divided into five business segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA), and GM Financial.
General Motors had a record 2014, with sales up more than 2 percent from 2013’s record led by strength from North America and China.
2015 is set to be another strong year for GM and its 4 brands, as record truck demand and an overall boom in the North American market is expected to offset slowing sales in China. The American automaker is also benefiting from external market conditions, as it saw its 2015 2Q profits rise despite declining global vehicle deliveries and a 3.5 percent decline in worldwide revenue.
