Chevrolet Onix production remains suspended due to rain in RS, says company

Gravataí factory suspends production

After confirming that production at the Gravataí (RS) factory was suspended, General Motors announced that the assembly of the Chevrolet Onix and Onix Plus there will remain suspended for a few more days. Initially, there was a scheduled stoppage, but the period was extended due to the climate crisis in Rio Grande do Sul.

Impact of the climate crisis on production

The climate crisis has directly affected several regions of the world, and the south of Brazil has been no different. Heavy rains and travel difficulties have affected not only factory production, but also the lives of the local population. General Motors' decision to maintain the suspension of vehicle production is a preventive measure to ensure employee safety and product quality.

Measures adopted by the company

To minimize the impacts of the climate crisis on production, General Motors has adopted strategic measures. In addition to the temporary suspension of the assembly of Chevrolet Onix and Onix Plus in Gravataí, the company has been looking for alternatives to guarantee the continuity of production in other manufacturing units. The safety and well-being of employees are priorities for the company, which has invested in training and qualifications to deal with adverse situations.

Commitment to the environment

In addition to ensuring worker safety and product quality, General Motors reinforces its commitment to the environment. The climate crisis highlights the importance of sustainability and the preservation of natural resources. The company has invested in sustainable practices in all of its operations, aiming to reduce environmental impact and contribute to a greener future.

Resumption of production

With the improvement in weather conditions and the stabilization of the situation in the region, General Motors plans to resume production of the Chevrolet Onix and Onix Plus in Gravataí as soon as possible. The company is closely monitoring developments in the climate crisis and working closely with local authorities to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Production is expected to resume gradually, as conditions permit.

In summary, the temporary suspension of production at the Gravataí factory is a necessary measure in light of the climate crisis affecting the region. General Motors reaffirms its commitment to safety, quality and sustainability, seeking to minimize impacts and ensure a safe and responsible resumption of production of the Chevrolet Onix and Onix Plus.
