GM's Performance in 2021: EV Ventures Having Tough Time
General Motors is one of the companies hit by the chip shortage problems amidst 2021, and it almost looked into the stop in the company's production of vehicles. The chip problems led to the company's hardships spreading throughout the year, with its car manufacturing focused on fixing its different issues in its current fleet.
There came a time where GM had to stop the production of the company vehicles in the North American region, and it was a massive letdown for the manufacturer. The famous Detroit manufacturer only made a name for itself in the EV industry, but its different concerns prevent them from going all out with its future ventures.
GM remains one of the growing electric vehicle companies that aim to transform its fleet to clean energy in the coming years. With the many offers in the coming years, General Motors will bounce back from its initial problems and focus on the matter at hand.
The car manufacturer should still play on these strengths and bring its anticipated releases to the public.
