GM expects solid sales and a cautious near-term strategy

General Motors is approaching the coming months with caution, but not alarm. At a recent investor meeting, chief financial officer Paul Jacobson said the group still expects healthy sales, even in a more selective and competitive environment.

For the American giant, the key remains balancing margins and volumes, while its short-term strategy will focus on a range tailored to different market areas. At the same time, GM continues to monitor the shift to electric vehicles, which is proving less straightforward than expected in several countries, Italy included.
