GM’s Akerson Says He’s Open to Cutting Volt Output to Demand

General Motors Co., the largest U.S. automaker, may cut its production plans for the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt if it can’t sell as many as it expects after missing U.S. sales targets last year, executives said.

“We’re going to match production with demand,” Akerson told reporters yesterday following an event in Detroit for the new Cadillac ATS compact car, before the start of the North American International Auto Show. “There’re new variables in the equation, so we’ll see.”
