Holden killed by ‘highly fragmented right-hand-drive markets’ | Sky News AustraliaGeneral Motors has blamed “highly fragmented right-hand-drive markets” for the downfall of Holden which will cost hundreds of jobs.\n\nGM International Operations Senior Vice President Julian Blissett has released a statement explaining the financial woes leading to the demise of Holden.\n\n“Through its proud 160-year history, Holden has not only made cars, it has been a powerful driver of the industrialisation and advancement of Australia and New Zealand,” Mr Blissett. \n\n“Over recent years, as the industry underwent significant change globally and locally, we implemented a number of alternative strategies to try to sustain and improve the business, together with the local team.” \n\nGeneral Motors also said it undertook a “detailed analysis” of the investment required for Holden to be competitive.\n\n “After comprehensive assessment, we regret that we could not prioritise the investment required for Holden to be successful for the long term in Australia and New Zealand, over all other considerations we have globally,” Mr Blissett. \n\n“This decision is based on global priorities and does not reflect the hard work, talent and professionalism of the Holden team.” \n\nThe shutdown is expected to cost at least 600 jobs as General Motors ceases making vehicles suitable for Australian roads. \n\nIt comes three years after local manufacturing ended when the Holden plant in Adelaide was closed. \nGeneral Motors will no longer produce any right-hand vehicles after 72 years of business in Australia.\n They had no V8. That’s the reason no one bought that Eurotrash they forced on us. Wheres the PM and McCormack to protect the jobs. Surely they must care. Its all about protecting jobs. Jobs must be protected at all costs. Wait, Nope, not mining. Workers are on their own.
