Chevrolet Europe GmbH was a subsidiary company of GM Korea (itself a subsidiary of U.S.-based automaker General Motors), founded in 2005, with headquarters in Zürich, Switzerland. It provided Chevrolet brand automobiles, most of which were made in South Korea for the European market.[2]

In 2013 General Motors announced that it would withdraw the Chevrolet brand, with the exception of the Corvette and Camaro, from Europe except Russia and CIS member nations.[3]
