青年下標50億瑞典幣也斷根GM

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Yesterday we learned from Reuters that Youngman is planning to place a bid on the Saab bankruptcy estate next week. Today also Swedish Dagens Industri reports the same news and even says that the bid is SEK 5 billion.
昨天從路透社獲知青年打算下週對Saab資產投標單. 今天瑞典工業日報也報導相同消息同時甚至說標金高達50億瑞典幣(5.62億歐元)

According to DI, in addition to the SEK 5 billion bid, Youngman is also prepared to invest another SEK 5 billion into Saab in order to finish the development of the Phoenix platform and the next Saab 9-3.
根據工業日報, 除了這50億標金, 青年同時也準備投資額外50億到Saab作為完成鳳凰平台研發(Alan: 與斷GM斷根費用之一)及下一代9-3

Both Chairman of Youngman Pang Qingnian and CEO of Youngman's car division Rachel Pang will travel to Sweden next week to present the offer to the bankruptcy administrators.
青年董事長龐青年及青年小自客車執行長龐彩萍兩位同時表示下週將前往瑞典提報他們的出價給破產管理人

A SEK 5 billion bid will probably mean that the suppliers, which Saab owes around SEK 1.5 billion, will be paid. But also Saab's approx. EUR 230 million loan in the European Investment Bank will be redeemed and thus free the collateral (including the Saab Parts company) that the Swedish state has in Saab.
這項50億標金將可能是被用來支付給供應商, 他們被Saab積欠15億瑞典幣. 但是也包括Saab向歐洲投資銀行的貸款大約2.3億歐元還清, 也把瑞典政府拿來抵押的擔保部分(Saab零件部門的)一併解除

Youngman's plan is to continue producing the current 9-3 model in Trollhattan, but now free of GM parts.
青年的計畫是持續生產現行9-3車型於 Trollhattan, 但是將會排除使用GM零件

"The plan is to restart production of the Saab 9-3 in Trollhattan 15 weeks after an agreement is signed with the administrators," a source of Dagens Industri told the newspaper.
"計畫是在與管理人簽署合約之後在15週之內在Trollhattan重新啟動Saab 9-3的生產", 根據工業日報消息

The plan is to replace the GM parts with parts from other suppliers.
該計畫是從其他供應商取得零件取代GM零件

"This applies to gearboxes and engines. Who these new suppliers are can not be disclosed at this time. Other components related to GM will be delivered from new suppliers with no connection to GM," the source said.
"這適用於變速箱(Alan: 手排)及引擎. 至於是那個新供應商目前無法透露. 其他與GM零件將從新供應商運送跟GM沒有關係", 該項消息說明

Earlier it has been mentioned that Youngman would like to source engines from an Italian suppplier, which could point to Fiat. The diesel engines Saab currently use were developed by a Fiat and GM joint-venture, which would make Fiat diesels easier to adopt to the Saab 9-3.
稍早曾提到青年將會從義大利供應商來獲得引擎, 它應該是指向Fiat. 這Saab目前使用的柴油引擎是由Fiat及GM合作研發, 這使得Fiat柴油引擎更容易適用於Saab 9-3. (Alan: Saab目前得柴油是在Opel工廠生產)

In addition, we also know that Saab reached a deal with BMW in September 2010 in which BMW would supply their 1.6 turbo petrol engine to the next generation Saab 9-3. Saab has had about one year to test and get to know this engine. Saab's former CEO Jan Ake Jonsson once said that it takestwo years to find, test, install and validate a new engine. Can the use of the BMW engine in the current Saab 9-3 be a possibility?
更進一步, 我們也獲知Saab已經與BMW於2010達成一項協議那是BMW將提供他們的1.6渦輪增壓汽油引擎給下一代Saab 9-3. Saab 已經花費將近一年時間做測試及瞭解這一顆引擎. Saab的前執行長Jan Ake Jonsson 曾經說過, 它需要花2年時間挖掘, 測試, 安裝及評估一顆新引擎. 那有可能拿這顆引擎用於目前的Saab 9-3?
