General Motors planea fabricar menos camionetas y todoterrenos

General Motors Corp., el mayor fabricante de automóviles de Estados Unidos, va camino de fabricar menos camionetas y vehículos todoterreno porque los crecientes precios de la gasolina atizan la demanda de autos de pasajeros, dijo el jefe de ventas norteamericanas de la compañía.

“Probablemente necesitemos recortar cierta capacidad de camionetas y todoterrenos”, dijo Mark LaNeve en una entrevista en Los Ángeles ayer. “Debemos aumentarla para los autos y los vehículos mixtos (mezcla de todoterreno y automóvil) y debemos seguir afinando nuestra producción total de camiones”. La empresa podría hacer un anuncio al respecto dentro de un mes, agregó.

El fabricante de autos ya ha reducido su plan de producción norteamericana este año en 138.000 camionetas y todoterrenos porque la economía de EEUU se enfrió y los precios de la gasolina treparon 30 por ciento. Las ventas de GM en EEUU cayeron 12 por ciento hasta abril al hundirse la demanda de camiones livianos.

La compañía con sede en Detroit fue afectada por una caída de la demanda de vehículos grandes cuando subieron los precios al por menor de la gasolina en EEUU. Ayer, el precio promedio de un galón (3,78 litros) de gasolina era de US$3,94, según el informe Daily Fuel Gauge Report de la American Automobile Asssociation. Las ventas estadounidenses de las camionetas GMC Sierra y Chevrolet Silverado bajaron 19 por ciento hasta abril, según Autodata Corp., en Woodcliff Lake, estado de Nueva Jersey.

“La cuestión más importante en cuanto a rentabilidad que enfrentamos ahora es cuán débil está el mercado de camionetas”, dijo LaNeve. “Tenemos mejores ganancias con las camionetas; todo el mundo tiene mejores ganancias con ellas”.

Efecto de las huelgas

El 23 de mayo, GM dijo también que huelgas en dos plantas estadounidenses y otra de 12 semanas en el proveedor de componentes American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. tendrán en conjunto un impacto anterior a impuestos sobre la ganancia de US$2.800 millones y reducirán la producción en cerca de 363.000 autos y camionetas.

“Para bien o para mal, la huelga de American Axle se llevó un montón de existencias”, dijo LaNeve.

GM ha perdido US$54.000 millones desde el fin de 2004 y se vio obligada a liquidar activos por más de US$27.300 millones a fin de generar el efectivo necesario para desarrollar nuevos modelos y manejar el negocio.

La compañía dijo el 13 de mayo que podría tener que tomar prestado y reducir gastos si la economía de EEUU se enfriara más. Una semana antes GM había identificado obligaciones por valor de US$1.400 millones, lo cual creó inquietud por la posibilidad de que el fabricante estuviera corto de efectivo. El director financiero de GM, Ray Young, dijo el 19 de marzo que la empresa ya estaba pensando en reducir US$500 millones de gastos adicionales para aumentar la liquidez.

Para reducir costos, Rick Wagoner, el máximo responsable de GM, ha despedido a más de 34.000 trabajadores sindicalizados, cerró una docena de plantas en Norteamérica y obtuvo un nuevo acuerdo laboral que reduce los futuros costos en tal sentido en US$5.000 millones para 2011.
