Please forget all for a short time NEVS and please look at this report once:
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/koenigsegg-paktiert-mit-qoros-aus-fuer-die-nockenwelle-7096710.html
It's about a cooperation between Königsegg and Qoros ... What makes the whole thing really interesting is that in Qoros 3 (http://www.qorosauto.sk/enpage/) to my knowledge, actually a lot of Saab know-how and the car was developed by Saab technicians and Magna / AVL in Graz Austria. Incidentally, it is one of the safest vehicles ever tested.
The “problem” is that Qoros is having a hard time on the domestic market (China) and does not seem to dare to go to Europe and is only sold in Slovakia.
It's a pity, because apparently Qoros is building on Swedish knowledge ...
In my humble opinion there is more Saab in this company than in all other brands together and certainly more than in NEVS and I would very much wish if Qoros would be sold in this country.
What do you think about that?
There is still the rumor that Volvo, together with Geely, wants to launch a new car brand.
The interesting thing is that the company CEVT is responsible for Geely works for a company headquarters
in Trollhättan.
That would be a better alternative than NEVS,
at least for me ...

“Nevs plan är att starta tillverkningen av målade body in Trollhättan i highest. Just now there are 700 people who are jobable in Trollhättan and there are also commissions at work.
- Vi rekryterar ett 50-tal ingenjörer i månaden och vi förbereder nu för att anställa ett 100-tal bilbyggare i Trollhättan till sommaren, saw Mattias Bergman. ”

- We recruit 50 engineers in the month and we are now preparing to hire some 100 car builder in Trollhättan by summer, says Mattias Bergman. "
I do not read anything from the Annual Report
NEVS maybe in the future somehow possibly with
SAAB intends to….
The word “SAAB” is used extremely sparingly. What you can read is that NEVS refers to the tradition of the work and the brand. Everything else leaves a lot of room for speculation.
"A cooperation agreement was signed with the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Tübitak, to develop a Turkish national car."
Hello? With a production in Turkey, the Saab - no matter which EVO - finally stops with me.
Turkey has not yet managed to build a car with billions every year from the US and the EU. Every attempt to build cars according to given standards in Turkey has always failed miserably. Even for the traffic safety of the cars admitted in Turkey after graduated contracts the German TÜV must be grad, which examines there anyway already for years on site.
Actually, I wanted to write yesterday that I don't care when the Saab was produced and complied with Tom - that everyone has to decide for themselves and their wallets how much Saab is in there.
But I will never accept a Saab from Turkey as SAAB!
It's about this Projects, A national car which, contrary to the original text, will be based on a newly developed platform and has nothing to do with the 9-3. It will not be a Saab but a new Turkish brand that 2020 is to hit the market.
It is probably time again that a spare part is desperately searched. I am looking for my 9-5, 2.2TiD, 2004, the hydraulic lines 5531793 + 5531488. The market is empty.
Who has an idea to get these parts? Scrapping the car because of these missing parts is just too bad. Thanks for any hint.
Even if the topic passes completely: Hydraulic lines can be made at the local hydraulic service. Get out old lines, have them rebuilt, continue driving Saab and have fun
Two …. a thought! 🙂
Perfect
Unfortunately I can't help you with the line, but I once had such lines built for me. Just ask in an old car workshop, most of them know someone ... or at Opel?
