Saab raises rates after the New Year

Trollhättan. Saab Automobile is planning to more than double the rate of production at the factory in Trollhättan, Sweden after the new year, from 100 to 220 cars per day.
The increase is made from a very low level. With the current pace of construction more than 30 000 cars per year. The change represents a first step towards a normal volume of production.
- We will raise the rate from week 1, and go from 13 cars per hour to 28 cars per hour, “says Paul Akerlund, chairman of the IF Metall union at Saab Automobile, the newspaper TTELA.
Today’s construction rate is so low, that the customers you have to wait too long for their new cars.
64 of the 700 persons who were dismissed from the factory this spring have been reinstated in the last month. Paul Akerlund think it needed more re-employment to cope with the growth of production, and of course hope that the factory will wind up even more during the course of next year.
Under the current forecast, Saab expects to sell about 60 000 cars 2010th

Looks to me like the “New Saab” will definitely fail…shedding all the “Heritage Saab” dealers across the US. Only at GM can you get more sales from less dealers….. I will don’t drive hours to get the Saabs I already own serviced…. I will buy something else ….. My life is too busy to spend days out of it chasing my Saab (Which honestly is of such poor quality but my local dealer has done such a good job keeping it going) so if my dealer goes my Saab fleet goes too….5 in the last 8 years…
