Holden brand to cease operation in Australia

[bonox]

in fact, by sales dollars, I think the trucks are bigger than the cars were

 

[gartley]

We don't make them, they are CKD( Completely Knocked Down), parts bought here and just assembled. Very little australian design or manufactured content.....

Didn't know we made trucks in Australia ?

Buses too.

Bustech manufactures buses (full size ones) in Queensland and also has an assembly operation in Tasmania and on a smaller scale in SA. They're a manufacturer as such at the Queensland plant not just an assembler.

Ships too. Apart from defence related things there's Incat in Hobart which builds large catamarans and I think there's still someone building decent size vessels in WA too?
