The door has finally closed for Saab Automobile, the bankruptcy is final, the factory has been sold, and the parts business has been separated from the bankruptcy to form several new companies. The one for the U.S. market, Saab Parts North America (SPNA) is up and running as of June 1st. SPNA is a fully functioning company working hard to fill the hundreds of back-ordered parts from former Saab Automobile. The fill rate of back-ordered parts has continued to grow and with hope SPNA will get a full inventory back in stock in the Allentown warehouse within the next few months. The parent company of SPNA has arranged purchase of various tooling equipment from former Saab Automobile to produce fenders, hood, etc. to keep a supply going for current cars on the road. It is a relief for many Saab owners to know parts will be available for years to come for their favorite Saab. The Trollhatten factory will soon be springing back to life. Two investment companies, one from Japan and one from Hong Kong have purchased the remains of Saab Automobile and will build an all electric vehicle based on the 9-3 platform. The new company is National Electric Vehicle Sweden. It remains to be seen if the new electric vehicle will be branded as a Saab. It is said the vehicle sales will be limited to China and possibly parts of Europe only. The future is finally looking brighter for Saab, we can only hope it gets better.
