General Motors Co. has eliminated 15% of its 1,900-member workforce in Thailand after its sales there fell 11% to 9,200 units through the first seven months of 2019.
Thailand’s passenger vehicle market expanded 6% in January-July. GM, which makes Colorado midsize pickup trucks and Captiva (pictured) and Trailblazer crossovers in Thailand, controls only 1.5% of the Thai market.
