I-Saab ingakhuphuka i-Phoenix futhi

Inkampani engumzali wayo iSpyker, ezinze eNetherlands, namuhla imemezele ukusebenzisana nenkampani yaseChina iYoungman Automobile ukukhiqiza izimoto zakwaSaab kanye neSUV eChina.

AbakwaSpyker bathi bazosebenzisana nenkampani yezimoto iZhejiang Youngman Lotus (Youngman) ukukhiqiza izimoto ezimbili. I-Youngman izothola ingxenye engu-29.9% ku-Spyker. Okhulumela iSaab Australia uGill Martin uthi "akukho lutho olusemthethweni" oluvela emahhovisi e-Saab eSweden. 

“Akukho esingakusho kuze kube sithola isitatimende kwaSaab,” usho kanje. Abafundi abanentshisekelo ngeSaab ehlulekayo bazokhumbula uYoungman njengenye yezinkampani zokuqala zaseChina iSpyker eyaphendukela kuyo ukuze ithole imali njengoba izama ukuvuselela iSaab ngemuva kokuhlukana kwayo neGeneral Motors.

Kodwa i-GM ivimbele noma yikuphi ukuhlanganyela kwamaShayina, isaba ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bayo buzosetshenziswa u-Youngman. Lokhu kuholele ekubhuntsheni kwesivumelwano noYoungman, kwathi ngoDisemba 2011 iSaab yamenyezelwa ukuthi ayinamali. USpyker noYoungman manje bahlela ukuthuthukisa izimoto ezisekelwe emsamo we-Saab Phoenix, umqondo okhonjiswe embukisweni wezimoto i-Geneva Motor Show ka-2011, onelayisensi ka-Youngman.

Le nkundla ayihlobene nanoma ibuphi ubuchwepheshe be-GM. Isivumelwano esisha sihlose ukuthi u-Youngman abe ngumnikazi wama-80% wenkampani ephethe inkundla yasePhoenix, enye esele ingeye-Spyker. Laba bobabili bazophinde benze iSUV esekelwe kumqondo weminyaka eyisithupha we-D8 Peking-to-Paris owakhonjiswa embukisweni wezimoto i-Geneva Motor Show ngo-2006. I-D8 izotholakala ngasekupheleni kuka-2014 ngenani lentengo lika-$250,000.

Esitatimendeni sayizolo, uSpyker uthe u-Youngman uzotshala ama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-25 (amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-30) kulo msebenzi, awunikeze ingxenye engamaphesenti angu-75, kanti uSpyker uzohlinzeka ngobuchwepheshe futhi agcine ingxenye engamaphesenti angu-25. Ngaphezu kwalezi zinkampani ezimbili ezihlanganyelwe, u-Youngman uzokhokha amaRandi ayizigidi eziyisi-8 ngesabelo sika-29.9% kuSpyker futhi anikeze inkampani yezimoto yaseDutch imali ebolekiwe yabanikazi bamasheya engu-$4 million.

Futhi ukuze kuqhutshekwe nodaka emanzini, ngenkathi lokhu kwenzeka, uSpyker ubandakanyeka ecaleni lika-$3 billion elibhekene noGM ngokubhubha kweSaab. Futhi asikakaqedi. U-Youngman ubengahlali phansi, ngenyanga edlule ethola imvume kuhulumeni wendawo (waseShayina) yokuthenga inkampani yamabhasi yaseJalimane i-Viseon Bus.

U-Youngman uzothenga ingxenye engu-74.9% e-Viseon nge-$ 1.2 million. IViseon, ezinze ePilsting, eJalimane, ibike ukulahlekelwa kwezigidi ezingu-2.8 zamaRandi emalini engenayo yezigidi ezingu-38 zamaRandi ngonyaka odlule. U-Youngman uzotshala izigidi ezingu-3.6 zamaRandi kumkhiqizi wamabhasi waseJalimane futhi anikeze imali ebolekiwe engu-$7.3 million kubanikazi bamasheya kanye nenkampani. Ibhizinisi elikhulu le-Youngman ukukhiqizwa kwamabhasi. Iphinde ikhiqize izimoto ezincane.
