HUMMER sales remain strong with a 54-percent increase year to date. Global year to date H3 sales are up 120 percent compared with the same period a year ago. In the Middle East, HUMMER sales were up 368 percent, with 1,700 vehicles sold, year to date. In theUnited States, H3 sales for the quarter were up 20 percent to 16,000 vehicles. Global HUMMER sales should continue to strengthen with the additional H3 volume available from GM's new assembly facility in South Africa. Production of H3s began this month in South Africa, and a right-hand-drive version of the H3 will be added to the portfolio next May.
“Our global brands Cadillac and HUMMER continue to show their worldwide strength. We’re also seeing outstanding growth through the first nine months of the year for GM brands in emerging markets such as China (up 37 percent); Russia (up 64 percent); and India (up 18 percent),” said John Middlebrook, vice president of global sales, service and marketing.
“We are seeing the revitalized marketing strategy in North America first stabilize, and now slightly improve, our market share in theUnited States -- from 23.8 percent in the first quarter of 2006, to 24.1 percent in Q2, then 25.1 percent in Q3.
” Cadillac sales in China and Europe have shown powerful improvements so far this year. In China, where Cadillac was introduced only two years ago, year to date sales are up 43 percent. In Europe, Cadillac sales are up 30 percent year to date. In the United States, Escalade continues its dominance of the Large Luxury Utility segment with a 41 percent share of the market. In Oman, OTE Group exclusively sells General Motors (Chevrolet, Cadillac, HUMMER range of) vehicles in the Sultanate. With the nationwide network of showrooms and service centres,OTE ensures that GM customers are never far from getting a large range and quality after sales service. This has led to more and more customers joining the GM family in Oman .
