General Motors and its joint ventures today sold their 3 millionth vehicle in China in 2013. This is the first time in GM’s history in its largest market that it has reached the milestone in a calendar year.

“GM has maintained a long-term commitment to China that few other global companies can match,” said GM China President Bob Socia. “Our latest achievement affirms that our broad spectrum of vehicle choices is meeting the needs of consumers nationwide.”

In order to keep up its momentum, GM’s joint ventures are investing about $11 billion in vehicles, facilities and people through 2016.

“GM and our employees are pleased but not satisfied,” Socia added. “We are focused on building on our success in all areas of the business to remain an industry driving force in China.”
