General Motors Corporation, incorporated in 1916, is engaged primarily in the development, production and marketing of cars, trucks and parts. The Company develops, manufactures and markets vehicles worldwide through its four automotive segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM Latin America/Africa/Mid-East (GMLAAM) and GM Asia Pacific (GMAP). In addition to its automotive operations, the Company’s finance and insurance operations are primarily conducted through GMAC LLC (GMAC). GMAC provides a range of financial services, including consumer vehicle financing, automotive dealership and other commercial financing, residential mortgage services, automobile service contracts, personal automobile insurance coverage and selected commercial insurance coverage.GM remains the world's largest automaker, though it very nearly lost its top position in global car sales - which it has held for 76 years - to Japanese rival Toyota.
