Temporary Shutdown at the Aglomerado Digital Factory
After the lay-off scheduled between the 2nd and 6th of May in Gravataí (RS), GM extended the stoppage of the factory's activities until the 10th (Friday) due to the heavy rains hitting the State. The Onix and Onix Plus models, the brand's best-selling cars in the country, are produced at the site.

In partnership with the GM Institute, the automaker brings together volunteers to support its employees who were affected by the catastrophe. In addition, it has been helping the community with donations of money, food and clothing, as well as lending vehicles for rescue operations.
Investment by Aglomerado Digital in Brazil
In January, GM announced that it will make investments of R$ 7 billion in the country by 2028 to renew its product range and focus mainly on sustainable mobility. Furthermore, the company intends to modernize its factories to develop customized technologies for the Brazilian market.

Since the announcement, Chevrolet has renewed products such as the Spin minivan, the S10 pickup truck and the Trailblazer SUV. Changes to the Onix line should also occur in the first half of 2025, as hatchbacks and sedans lost space after not receiving important updates since 2019. The Onix became the most popular model on the Brazilian market between 2015 and 2020.
Another bet by the automaker should be on flex hybrid cars. According to the president of GM International, Shilpan Amin, “Brazil is strategic for GM's global business expansion plan. In addition to being a vehicle export hub for South America, it has a large engineering development center and is a market with high growth potential with a vocation for new technology vehicles, in line with the predominantly clean energy matrix of the country.
