Daewoo expands its role within GM

摘要

South Korea's third-largest automaker, GM Daewoo Auto & Technology—the Asian production base of parent General Motors—said it would bear more engineering and design responsibilities as it tries to expand its role within the GM family. "GM Daewoo and other GM family companies in this Asia-Pacific region will be asked by GM to do more engineering work in the future when it is more effi- cient to be done in this region," said Ki-Joon Yu, GM's Asia-Pacific Engineering Coordinator. "GM's strategy is to pursue "engineering globalization" and "regional engineering" to better link its units with the North America engineers." Yu is also GM Daewoo's Vice President in charge of engineering. He said he will seek and consolidate "regional engineering" of GM units in Asia such as Shanghai Automotive, GM Daewoo, GM's Japanese alliance partners of Suzuki and Fuji Heavy Industries, GM's Australian arm Holden, and GM-India technical center.
