NEVS receives electric vehicle production license in China
The Chinese government has today approved NEVS’ application to start production of electric vehicles in its manufacturing plant in Tianjin.
– I am very grateful for the approval we now have received for the electric vehicle production license. It is an extremely important milestone for NEVS, which is based on 70 years of Saab long history. It means that we can take the next step to realize our vision - to shape mobility for a more sustainable future, says Kai Johan Jiang, chairman of NEVS.
The electric vehicle production license approved by the Chinese National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) is required in order to manufacture electric vehicles in China. NEVS is the first joint venture company with investors from outside China that is granted a New Energy Passenger Vehicle Project investment approval by NDRC.
NEVS' manufacturing plant in Tianjin is under construction and planned to be up and running at the end of 2017, with the capacity of 200 000 electric passenger vehicles yearly.
The electric car industry is growing rapidly in China. NEVS plan is to develop a product portfolio of electric vehicles and mobility services globally, with China as the first and most demanding market for the coming years. The immediate plan is to deliver 150 000 9-3 Sedan electric vehicles to the partner Panda New Energy, a new energy vehicle leasing company in China.

P.S. 당장으로서는 NEVS 이름으로 사브 9-3 기반의 전기차를 만들 계획이 있다는군요. 중국 정부가 중국 텐진에서 전기차 생산을 허락해주었고, 2017년 말에 연간 20만대를 만들 규모의 공장을 완공할 예정이라고 합니다. 일단은 사브 9-3 전기차를 15만대 만들어서 중국의 전기차 대여 업체인 판다 뉴 에너지에다 제공한다고 합니다.
...이거 어떻게 받냐면은, NEVS 사이트로 들어가서 메일을 구독하시면 됩니다. 사브 애호가 사이트인 SAABplanet에서도 업로드되니 거기서 소식을 받을 수도 있고요.
