Saab is gone. The same is happening with many of the hydraulic presses. But now AC Cars is moving into the factory. At least 35 new people need to be found.
Cars will once again be assembled at the former Saab factory in Trollhättan. It has been agreed that the company AC Cars will begin manufacturing sports cars in the former Saab buildings.
T-Engineering has entered into an agreement with the British company AC Cars. The collaboration includes the production of the AC Cobra GT Roadster and GT Coupe car models.
The production of the cars will take place at the Stallbacka factory, where the Saab factory was previously located. In fact, until the last Saab was built in December 2013.
– A number of exclusive cars will be built by hand, says Klas Lundgren, CEO of T-Engineering, to TTELA .
The Saab factory in Trollhättan, previously owned by Saab, was purchased in May 2023 by billionaire Svante Andersson and Stenhaga Invest.
Since then, there have been several attempts to get car production rolling again. But Saab's successor NEVS – National Electric Vehicle Sweden – never got going again.
T-Engineering also states that the cars in Sweden will be assembled by personnel already on the payroll.
On the other hand, it will be necessary to find more people, because production will start next week.
AC Cars already has a production facility in southern England, meaning that not all parts of the production will take place in Sweden.
However, T-Engineering intends to increase production in Trollhättan, where 250 cars can be assembled per year.
"It will be necessary to hire at least 35 people during the spring alone," says Klas Lundgren.
AC Cars has a long history in car manufacturing. The company was established in 1901, making it one of England's oldest car brands. Today, modern versions of the AC Cobra are built in very small numbers.
The AC Cobra GT Roadster is priced at 1.7 million kroner. The more expensive model, the AC Cobra GT Coupe, is priced at 2 million kroner.
