Holden, an iconic Australian car manufacturer, ceased production in Australia in 2017. The company’s closure marked the end of an era for the Australian automotive industry.
Holden’s decision to leave Australia was driven by several factors, including the rising cost of manufacturing, the decline in demand for locally produced cars, and increased competition from imported vehicles. The company’s last Australian-made car was the Commodore, which rolled off the production line in Adelaide in October 2017.
