The announcement follows last week’s news of GM’s decision not to sell its European division.
Meanwhile, General Motors announced its intentions of finding a new general director for the corporation’s two sister brands, Opel and Vauxhall.
For now, Reilly will be working with management for the European divisions to create a viable, long-term business plan, drawing from his past knowledge and experience with Vauxhall.
Reilly was appointed as Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for his contribution to England’s auto industry, a distinct honour granted by the Queen of England.
After plans with Magna fell through, Reilly must see to it that GM makes no error with Opel and Vauxhall.
