A New Direction for EV Electra
EV Electra, driven by the dynamic leadership of Jihad M. Mohammad, has been steering through various strategic considerations regarding the production of its electric vehicles based on the Emily GT prototype. Recent developments indicate a pivotal shift towards establishing a manufacturing hub in Trollhättan, not within the old confines of the Saab factory, but in a new space ripe with potential.
Trollhättan’s Industrial Zone: A New Automotive Birthplace
The industrial zone adjacent to the former Saab factory, owned by the city of Trollhättan, has emerged as the new focal point for EV Electra’s ambitious manufacturing plans. This move signifies a preference for building a modern factory on their own terms, rather than leasing existing facilities.
The Economic Calculus: Investing in the Future
Jihad M. Mohammad’s recent statements elucidate the economic rationale behind this strategic move. “Do you want to invest 500 million in someone else’s building?” he posits, highlighting the cost-effectiveness of constructing a new facility. This forward-looking approach prioritizes long-term asset ownership over short-term rental agreements.
Awaiting the City’s Response: A Proposition for Growth
EV Electra has extended an offer to the city for a portion of the industrial zone. This proposal not only promises a return on investment for the city but also pledges to make Trollhättan a comprehensive hub for EV Electra’s operations, encompassing both the engineering department and the production lines.
A Vision for Trollhättan’s Revival
Mohammad expresses optimism about the city’s response, banking on the shared desire for Trollhättan’s economic and social revitalization. The proposed modern factory is not just a production site but a beacon for innovation and community development.
The Proposed Site: Bridging Past and Future
The area in question, highlighted in red on the map provided by Mohammad, represents a bridge between Trollhättan’s rich automotive heritage and its future. The proximity to Stenhaga Invest’s blue-marked property and the remaining NEVS areas offers a blend of tradition and progress.
A New Chapter in Trollhättan’s Automotive Saga
If the city accepts EV Electra’s offer, Trollhättan could witness the rise of a modern manufacturing facility, ushering in a new era of electric vehicle production. The commitment to building a new factory underscores EV Electra’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and respect for Trollhättan’s automotive legacy.
Looking Ahead: The Journey Continues
As EV Electra awaits the city’s decision, the automotive world watches with bated breath. The potential establishment of a new manufacturing site in Trollhättan marks the next chapter in the city’s storied automotive history, promising growth, employment, and a resurgence of the automotive spirit that once defined the region.
They should build 1 car and sell it before they build a new factory!

We have 20 cars . 6 ready to drive . But then again why would you the full half of the cup .
I’m sure the Uusikaupunki factory in Finland could set up a production line on short notice. And it would be in line with the Saab heritage.
iT’ S A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY FOR THIS PIPE DREAM. YOU NEED TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SIGN OFF,REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WITH GENERAL MOTERS.
This pipe dream is a waste of time and money.The Swedish government needs to do their homework.This is set to fail,remember what happened with General Moters.
This pipe dream will fail,it’.s a waste of time and money.The swedish government needs to do their homework. Remember what happened with General Moters.
Give it back to Spyker. That’s their design badly copied.Let SAAB die with dignity.
Difficult to make up one’s opinion about the pertinence of the plan. Let’s give it a chance. This case is maybe different as the guy is not from the automotive world. Look at Tesla, what ever you think about it, they produce they sell, the cars are quite good. You see them everywhere. The guy is risking his money so I guess I thinks about it carefully how to spent it.
