    North American Automotive Production Slowed in October

    Written by Peter Wright


    Irrespective of the GM strike, light vehicle assemblies in North America slowed through October.

    This report is based on data from LMC Automotive for automotive assemblies in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The breakdown of assemblies is “Personal” (cars for personal use) and “Commercial” (light vehicles less than 6.0 tonnes gross vehicle weight rating). Heavy trucks and buses are not included. In this report we will briefly describe light vehicle sales in the U.S. before reporting in detail on assemblies in the three regions of North America.
