The Saab The story continues under the NEVS banner and the Emily GT model name, but we’re no less curious about the story’s outcome than when the company and its cars were called Saab. Last year, one Swedish company Stenhaga Invest bought 80% of the Stallbacka factory and office complex in Trollhattan, where Saab used to make cars, while NEVS retained the final 20%. Regarding products, an anonymous European investor has signed a letter of intent to buy two of NEVS’s 13 transportation projects, Emily GT and PON, an autonomous space shuttle. Svante Andersson, who runs Stenhaga, is said to have said The unnamed investor is interested in taking control of “a significant area” of facilities in Trollhattan and employing “a large number of people”.
The unnamed investor is actually a Middle Easterner from Canada, a company named EV electric vehicle, led by CEO Jihad Mohammed, is headquartered in Ontario and operates in three European countries. Mohammed said his company tried to reach an agreement with Stenhaga to acquire space in Trollhattan, aims to keep the ghost of the Swedish Saab alivebut the two sides could not reach an agreement. EV Electra acquired a factory in Italy, without saying which cars will be produced where and how. The company is offering Quds Nostrum electric sports car even before the acquisition of Emily and PONS, which made Nostrum a contender for Italy. And Mohammed wrote in a LinkedIn post that “We have more [a] Currently there are very few models, after many acquisitions took place in [the] the last two months and one more happening this week will allow us to be at the top of our game.”
However, the CEO has committed to getting the Emily GT on the production line this year, so we expect it to be one of the products. However, he plans to introduce versions of one of the EV products in June and deliver in August “for 2025 models.” Sounds too close to Emily GT.
PONS will likely be operational for several more years, considering the level of preparation and infrastructure the autonomous shuttle would require. And everyone in that business will be looking forward to the launch of Rimac’s Project3 autonomous space shuttle this summer.
In short, the standard Emily GT specifications at the moment are four doors, five seats, 175 kW engine. battery, active air suspension, four in-wheel motors generating 121 horsepower, for a total of 484 horsepower and a range of 1000 km on the WLTP cycle. A performance version increases total output to 653 horsepower and 1,623 lb-ft, reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Lower versions are rumored to have a battery capacity of 140 kWh or 105 kWh. There are also coupe, convertible and wagon models. Mohammed said once investors are informed about EV Electra’s plans, the company will issue a press release answering many of our questions.
