It is possible, in the position of suffering Saab brand has been shifting for the better. Several sources reported that the largest Asian automaker signed an agreement to buy a controlling stake in the company National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), which owns the assets of Saab. According to the information of insiders with customers Saabs United, this is an Indian manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra; also, it is possible to separate a strategic Alliance with China's Dongfeng Motor.
Crisis Manager NEVS Lars-Erik Gustafsson confirmed the fact of negotiations and the signing of the agreement on 30 November, but refused to disclose the name of the buyer to complete the transaction. However, he added that the investor has agreed to Fund the current operations of Saab in the amount of 5 million euros per month until February next year when the purchase is completed.
One of the biggest challenges facing the new buyer will be the return rights of trademark Saab, reminds Bloomberg. In August of this year, when NEVS has applied to the court for protection from creditors, the company Saab AB withdrew permission to use the famous name and logo on the cars. Then it didn't really matter, because the plant in Trollhattan not functioned for several months, but with the advent of the real buyer of the issue need to be addressed.
However, we have no doubt that the Indian industrial and business giant, covering dozens of areas of the economy, all will succeed. Let us recall the Korean SsangYong bought Mahindra in 2011 and flourishing under new management. It would be appropriate to cite the example of Jaguar Land Rover, owned by the same Indian Tata Motors and annually pleasing us news. Give a powerful injection of rupees in the Swedish automotive industry and something new instead of the Saab 9-3 Aero!
