General Motors provided an update on its restructuring efforts at an auto analyst event. GM reported that it is on track to meet the targets of its viability plan submitted to the government. However, GM adopted more conservative assumptions for vehicle sales in light of economic uncertainty, now planning for 2009 U.S. sales of 10.5 million units and global sales of 57.5 million units. GM said lowering the sales assumptions will require tougher operational decisions but better position the company for long-term viability as the auto market recovers. An updated viability plan is due to the government in February 2009.
