General Motors Co. said its global first-half sales rose 3.9 percent to 4.85 million vehicles, helped by gains in China and the U.S. as the automaker vies with Toyota Motor Corp. and Volkswagen AG for the top spot.
Small cars such as the Sail in China and the Onix in Brazil and the sell-down of the Silverado pickup that’s being replaced by a redesigned version this year bolstered Chevrolet, the Detroit-based company’s largest brand, according to a statement today. The brand’s first-half sales increased 1.4 percent from a year earlier to a record 2.5 million.
