Saab restarts production

A new generation Saab 9-5 was the first vehicle into production as the assembly line of Saab resumed today at the Trollhattan plant in Sweden.

Production at the factory had been halted seven weeks ago as the details of the takeover of the former GM subsidiary by Spyker Cars was negotiated and completed.

A Saab Convertible was also on the line, marking the concentration of Saab's production back to Sweden. A new 9-5 SportCombi will be introduced to the range next year.
