Opel is already commemorating the 160th anniversary of its inception and the 30th anniversary of its Eisenach facility in Thuringia in 2022. Simultaneously, one of the German manufacturer's most successful automobiles, the Opel Corsa, became 40 years old, with millions of units sold. Opel can now brag on another major accomplishment: the Lightning brand has produced 75 million vehicles. Vehicles have always made advances available to a wide variety of customers, providing them with mobility. Models that integrate emotion and functionality in everyday use. An electrified, locally emission-free Opel Grandland GSe Jubilee - an Opel built in Eisenach - went off the production line today, representing 75 million Opel automobiles.
"75 million Opel automobiles - a significant achievement in Opel's automotive production history. This excellent figure indicates how crucial Opel's involvement in democratizing mobility technologies and solutions has been and will be in the future. We are revolutionizing mobility, with the clear objective of being Europe's first entirely electric brand by 2028, with cars that provide driving pleasure and responsibility. Our new GSe vehicles, both sporty and electric, are another step in the right way." remarked Opel CEO Florian Huettl.
Opel recently stated that the GSe emblem would be reintroduced as a new trademark for its dynamic and electrified cars; thus, the abbreviation now stands for G rand S port and electric. The new Opel Grandland GSe follows in the footsteps of the Opel Astra GSe and Opel Astra Sports Tourer GSe. It is a high-performance plug-in hybrid car with electric all-wheel drive and a true innovator in the small SUV sector.
