GM Vietnam, part of US auto giant General Motors (GM), today celebrated the production and sale of its 50,000th Chevrolet vehicle since introducing the brand in December 2006. It officially reached the new milestone in September.

“Vietnam is one of Chevrolet’s more than 115 markets globally and one of the fastest-growing markets in Southeast Asia,” said GM Vietnam’s managing director Wail A. Farghaly.

“We are proud to be part of the remarkable growth of Vietnam’s economy and automotive industry through Chevrolet,” Farghaly added.

Chevrolet’s portfolio of high-value, high-quality vehicles in Vietnam includes the locally produced Spark mini-car, Aveo small compact car, Cruze medium compact car, Captiva SUV and Orlando MPV, in addition to the imported Colorado pickup.

The Spark, Captiva and Cruze have accounted for more than 62 per cent of production and sales. The Cruze entered the list of the 10 best-selling vehicles in Vietnam in September.

In August, Chevrolet introduced the Chevrolet Complete Care customer service programme, which is being implemented nationwide.

It provides a range of services (including 24/7/365 roadside assistance; express service; a warranty for up to one year or 25,000km (whichever comes first) for genuine parts and accessories; a warranty for up to three years or 100,000 km (whichever comes first, for new Chevrolet buyers) to ensure an outstanding ownership experience.

GM Vietnam assembles vehicles at its facility in Hanoi. Its vehicles are sold through 18 Chevrolet dealerships across the country. It has also exported about 500 vehicles, making it the first automaker in Vietnam to export small cars.

“GM Vietnam and our employees will continue to build and sell products that offer world-class design, performance, quality and safety, backed by best-in-class service,” said Farghaly. “With our philosophy of putting the customer at the centre of everything we do, we look forward to capturing the hearts of more vehicle buyers.”
