Seoul - South Korea's GM Daewoo Auto and Technology Co, a subsidiary of the financially troubled US carmaker General Motors Corp, said Tuesday that it would halt a production line in December because of sagging sales brought on by the global financial crisis.
The assembly line for mid-sized cars and sports utility vehicles at GM Daewoo's largest plant at Bupyong near Seoul is to come to a halt from Monday through January 4, a company spokesman said in Seoul.
A second production line at Bupyong for compact cars is to be closed down from December 22 to January 4, just like GM Daewoo plants at Kunsan and Changwon.
