Rumor: Saab To Be Saved By Mystery Swedish Electric Automaker

As the decaying corpse of Saab moves closer to nothingness, there are new reports of a mystery Swedish electric automaker stepping in to save the company. The company is called National Electric Vehicle Sweden and according to recent reports, a deal is close.

Looking at the company, the president is Karl-Erling Trogen. For those of you not familiar with Trogen, he is the former head of Volvo Trucks.

There is no explanation of what the company wants from Saab. As SaabsUnited points out, the company has no infrastructure, employees, dealer network, etc. It would require a great amount of time and funding to rebuild.

Speculation revolves around an interest in the electric rear axle program co-developed with eAAM. Your guess is as good as mine but it would be great to see the brand revived. Who knows, we may see electric or hybrid Saabs in the near future.
