GM scraps historic Holden car brand in Australia
17 February 2020
General Motors has said it will retire the iconic Australian car brand Holden as it leaves more markets.
The American car giant said it will wind down Holden sales, design and engineering operations in Australia and New Zealand by next year.
It also said China's Great Wall Motors had agreed to buy its manufacturing plant in Thailand.
The announcement comes three years after GM ended manufacturing in Australia.
In a statement posted on GM's website, chief executive Mary Barra said: "I've often said that we will do the right thing, even when it's hard, and this is one of those times."
