National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs) signed an agreement with Chinese companies Panda New Energy and China Volant Industry (Volinco) to provide electric vehicles based on Saab 9-3 between 2017 and 2020. More at:

At the end of January, Automotive News Europe reported,

"........Saab AB withdrew NEVS' right to use the Saab name two years ago after NEVS sought protection from creditors...."

So it seems we have two Chinese automakers who have acquired Saab technology, but neither with the right to use the name "Saab". Apparently that name will remain with the Saab AB defense firm in Sweden.

Gasgoo also says that Protean is world leader of in-wheel electric motor technology for passenger cars.

Evergrande New Energy on a roll

Gasgoo Automotive news tells us that Evergrande New Energy Auto, new owner of Protean in-wheel motors, now has agreements with 60 well known global automotive suppliers. And in addition, it is going forward with plans for NEV factories in both Guangzhou, and Shenyang of Liaoning Province.
Other reports suggest that while it is part owner of Faraday Future, through further investment it may become the wholly owner of Saab-spawned NEVS auto.
The link below reveals just some of the inroads it has made in becoming more than a successful realty, but now also a serious player in the Chinese competition for new energy vehicle dominance.
