Saab to resume making cars in Sweden
Saab will restart production on Monday as the firm's new owners look to get the carmaker back on track.
Saab went bankrupt in December 2011 and was bought by a Chinese-Swedish investment group, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs), last year.
The carmaker will restart production of its 9-3 sedan model at its Trollhattan factory in western Sweden.
The firm will initially make a petrol-powered version of the car with the aim of launching an electric version later.
"It's very similar, you can't change or develop very much in a year. We acquired the assets in August last year," Mikael Oestlund, a spokesman for Nevs was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
"Our focus has been to get the co-operation up and running with 400 suppliers and ensure the facilities were working."
Good news, I like Saab.
