GM wants a greater piece of the action<\/p>\n
General Motors (GM) plan to \"aggressively\" secure a 10 percent
\nshare of the new car market in Indonesia from its current 1
\npercent share within 10 years, GM president director Harold K.J.
\nKoh says.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the launch of the Chevrolet Aveo and the Chevrolet
\nSpark, Koh said the affordable, well-designed, fun-to-drive cars
\nwould \"allow us to make a serious product offering in the fast-
\ngrowing segment for small MPVs and city cars.\"<\/p>\n
The new models are in addition to the Chevrolet Blazer, the
\nChevrolet Zafira and Chevrolet Tavera, of which 2,800 units were
\nsold in Indonesia in 2002. In total, about 2.6 million Chevrolets
\nare sold throughout the world each year.<\/p>\n
Koh said Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country
\nand certainly one of the largest automotive markets in the
\nregion, offered GM excellent growth opportunities.<\/p>\n
\"We are very committed to being a serious player in the
\nIndonesian auto market and plan to aggressively grow our market
\nshare over the next few years. In fact, our plan is to secure a
\n10 percent market share in Indonesia.\"<\/p>\n
To achieve this GM was strengthening its already comprehensive
\nnationwide dealership network, improving the quality and
\nprofessionalism of its after-sales support and continuing to
\nexpand its portfolio of Chevrolet vehicles across market
\nsegments, Koh said.<\/p>\n
He said General Motors Group's 67 percent interest in General
\nMotors Daewoo Auto and Technology Company (GMDAT) made it
\npossible to apply GM's advanced technology in automotive design,
\nstyling, manufacturing and after-sales service.<\/p>\n
\"We are doing a lot more than just putting the Chevrolet name
\non GMDAT vehicles.\"<\/p>\n
