FILE - In this Nov. 25, 2009 file picture CEO of GM of Europe Nick Reilly meets the media after visiting the Opel headquarters in Ruesselsheim, central Germany. General Motors Co. said Tuesday March 2, 2010 it would more than triple its funding of the turnaround of European units Opel and Vauxhall to 1.9 billion euro (US dlrs 2.6 billion). General Motors had initially pledged 600 million euro and hoped to get some 2.7 billion euro in European government funding for the restructuring of its important European units, but such funding from European governments had been looking increasingly unlikely in recent weeks. "GM's 1.9 billion euro commitment is the right course of action for Opel and Vauxhall and should clearly signal our determination to fix our business," Nick Reilly, the chief executive of Opel and Vauxhall said in the statement.
