The Canadian mill owned by General Motors plans to release 1,200 people and halt production of electrical vans. It turns out that request for purchasing these models is at an highly low level and production is no longer profitable.
Global General Motors reported that he was forced to halt the production of electrical vans. The reason is low request for these kinds of cars. So far, it has been produced by a mill located in the Canadian state of Ontario. According to the company's policy, due to the unsatisfactory number of electrical vans sold, the mill will lose 1,200 people.
Information on the dismissal of workers and the cessation of production of electrical vans coincided with the imposition by the US of additional duties on products originating in Canada and Mexico. However, as the company itself assures, the reasons for the decisions taken are not the US economical policy and fresh customs, but only low demand.
General Motors powerfully emphasises that in this case it is about "sustaining operations and employment", as well as "adapting production schedules to current demand".
According to Paweł Rygas on the automotive portal.interia.pl, "the decision to halt the production of vehicles proves that the electrical transformation in the United States is going much slower than the manufacturers expected". It is hard to disagree with this given the fact that, even erstwhile placed on the marketplace 2 years ago, Chevrolet BrightDrop did not have the expected sales success. American consumers don't just want to buy electrical cars, especially erstwhile it comes to vans or vans.
It is worth noting that while General Motors plans to close the mill producing electrical vans, Stellantis is stopping the production of Jeep Wagoneer. This time, however, the reason is that the company is not keeping up with the production of components for this model. It is specifically about the petrol R6 engine, which is so popular that the company does not keep up with its production and the same assembly to the Jeep Wagoneer.
The R6 combustion engines besides scope the powerful U.S. RAM1500 pickups, and these are the ones that rotation off the production line as opposed to large electrical cars.
