It's from an article about General Motors (auto manufacturer):
"GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units."
The passage's overall meaning is about how some of GM's pick-ups models are oversupplied.
But I really could not figure out what "Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units" means.
So please, explain the above passage for me. Thank you all very much in advance.
