Holden motor exports rev up

[Excellent]

Holden engine exports will more than triple in number in the next four years ''as a result of meetings'' between a Federal Government trade delegation and parent General Motors in Shanghai. http://business.theage.com.au/business/holden-motor-exports-rev-up-20090713-di9b.html

"Holden engine exports will more than triple in number in the next four years said Senator Carr said earlier during his trip after meeting with Holden parent General Motors in Shanghai."

Well let's hope this is not another politician bullshitting on...

How many engines does the engine plant actually produce? Unless it makes less engines then I thought, I would imagine that 20,000 exports is actually only a small growth in percentage terms of total production output (eg less than 10% more(?). Unless it's a tripling in exports to China only?

The plant currently produces 6000 per year.

The plant currently produces 6000 per year.errr, but they sell almost that much VE models per month in OZ....

Apologies. Let me clarify. Currently export 6000 per annum to China

I take it that these motors end up in the Buick Park Avenue (ala Statesman)?
