General Motors Company

The current General Motors Company is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2009, and GM says it began operations when it acquired substantially all of the assets of Motors Liquidation Company, formerly General Motors Corporation, in July 2009. [1] The company’s operating history reaches back to 1908, when William C. Durant founded the General Motors holding company; GM’s heritage materials describe Durant’s effort to assemble a multi-brand automotive business. [2] [3]

GM’s 2025 Form 10-K says the company designs, builds, and sells trucks, crossovers, cars, and automobile parts and provides software-enabled services and subscriptions worldwide. [4] Its automotive operations are reported through GM North America and GM International, with vehicles developed, manufactured, or marketed under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC brands; GM also reports equity interests in entities serving markets, primarily in China, under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and Wuling brands.

GM is investing in electric vehicles, batteries, components, and related manufacturing capacity while retaining a portfolio that includes internal-combustion vehicles. [4] The company’s software platform supports connected features, OnStar services, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance, and GM says OnStar is available in more than 20 markets. [4] GM also provides vehicle and dealer financing through GM Financial, which offers retail loans and leases plus commercial lending to dealers.
