Saab sold to Chinese-Swedish investment group

Bankrupt carmaker Saab has been sold to a Chinese-Swedish investment group which aims to turn the company into a maker of electric vehicles.

Saab's administrator said the buyer was National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs). No sale price was given.

Saab went bankrupt in December, two years after former owner General Motors sold it to Dutch group Spyker.

Saab "will start a new operation" to develop and produce electric cars, the administrator said in a statement.

Saab was always at the front of large scale innovation implementation... until they lost their way and got rolled into the larger strucure.

perhaps they can take the electric car mainstream
