SHANGHAI - General Motors continued to deliver solid results in China in the third quarter, with new energy vehicles (NEVs) accounting for a record-high share of total sales of more than 358,000 units.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) accounted for more than 60 percent of vehicles sold, marking the highest NEV penetration rate ever recorded for the third quarter. The strong performance was driven by compelling new product launches and strong performance from core nameplates, further expanding GM's presence in higher-value segments.

"We are strengthening a competitive and sustainable business in China, guided by our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of Chinese customers," said John Roth, GM senior vice president and president of GM China and Asia. "Our improved product mix is building strong momentum for profitable growth across key segments."
