Saab Shuts Down its Production Lines

admin — Wed, 11 May 2011 12:23:34 +0000

The Swedish automaker Saab, has left the ownership of Gneral Motors, more than a year ago and is now in a near to death situation. It has temporarily shut down its production lines as it is negotiating with its suppliers who have gone unpaid.

Saab is hoping to revive ties with a Russian businessman whose participation had been a deal breaker during the negotiations when the Spyker purchased Saab from General Motors. The Russian investor, Vladimir Antonov, chairman of Snoras Bank is willing to invest up to $21 million in return he expects nearly thirty stake in Saab but this deal requires an approval from Swedish Government. Saab was acquired by Spykar which is a very small specialty sports car maker from General Motors in 2010 in an unusual deal. In February, Spyker said it would sell its sport cars business to CPP which is a British coach builder controlled by Mr. Antonov, for 32 million euros, or about $46 million, to shift its focus completely on Saab.

Sales of Saab increased slightly to 31,696 cars at wholesale in 2010 when compared to 2009 in which the company sold 27,482 units. This increase in sales for Saab is not enough to prevent a loss of $308 million in 2010 incurred by the company. Saab is planning to sell 80,000 units in 2011 which may not be possible for the company and it wants to return to profitability, which it sees possible with sales of 120,000 vehicles annually, in 2012. In March, Saab sold 830 cars in the United States.

Electric Car Launched by Honda in China

admin — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 11:26:01 +0000

Honda is ready to launch its first electric car in 2012 in China. A study is being made to find the possibility of marketing the pure electric-energy vehicles. It is in hopes to boost the sales in the country with the largest automotive market in the world. The testing program is now conducted in several countries that include China, Japan, and the United States.

Honda Jazz

The hatchback Jazz (Fit) and medium sedan Accord hybrid plug-in are the two more models that are developed by the company. The launch of the electric cars is based on the government policy that encourages the use of energy friendly vehicles.

The large market potential in China and the support incentives hindered by China’s policy had forced all the foreign makers for transferring the technology of electric cars to local partners. The China’s auto industry can be considered to become independent in applying this technology in the next 10 years. However, this policy is considered as contrary and detrimental to some foreign principles.

Toshiba Corporation is one of the Japan’s largest electronics manufacturer. Honda Motor Company has taken the cooperation of the Toshiba Corporation for supplying lithium-ion batteries in electric cars. After Toshiba became a sole-supplier of lithium-ion batteries to the electric scooter Honda, the partnership continued. Honda announced that the electric cars are prepared only if they provide the ability to roam up to 160km per hour every time the power battery is charged fully.

Certified used cars
