Summary sheet
The project concerns the part-financing of Saab Automobile’s expenditures for selected R&D projects in the 2009-2012 period.
The project concerns RDI activities related to the improvement of fuel efficiency and safety of the Saab Automobile’s future car fleet. The project includes also the capital expenditures associated with the new tooling and upgrading of existing facilities for the production of the above developments. The project, which will be implemented over the period 2009-2012, will be carried out in the promoter’s existing facilities in Trollhättan, Sweden, and at engineering facilities of automotive suppliers and specialised engineering companies.
The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorized in which case an EIA would not be required. In addition, the expected results of the developments will be manufactured in the promoter’s existing facility.
Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank’s services will verify details during the project’s due diligence.
