Saab Automobile Stops Production For 4 Weeks

Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by Ryan in 2000-2009

According to SVT in Sweden, Saab Automobile has apparently stopped production for the next four weeks.

The reasoning behind this work stoppage which is normal during this time of year, is to allow the transfer to full-time production of the all new Saab 9-5 which we’ve seen in pre-production models thathave already rolled off the line in addition to the Saab 9-3 Convertible which is being transferred from Graz, Austria.

Saab stops production at the factory in Trollhattan during four weeks at the end of the year.

Production resumed again in the second week into the new year.

The reason is that the factory need to be prepared for the production of the new 9-5 and the convertible model of the 9-3 who moved from Austria to Trollhättan.

“It is no strange and all stakeholders are informed as to what applies,” says Eric Geers, Director of Communications for Saab, told Dagens Industri.

Usually, Saab halt production for two weeks at Christmas and New Year holidays.
