Production in the Trollhattan plant has suffered severe disruption in recent months after suppliers withheld parts. According to the Saab website, the company’s management told workers on Monday that they will have to wait until at least July 4th to return to work.

Saab has said that it is in negotiations with various parties in order to secure short-term funding but an official statement admits that ‘there can be no assurances that these discussions will be successful or that the necessary funding will be obtained.’
