Swedish holding company National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs), which has acquired the assets of Saab Automobile among others, is reducing its workforce at its automobile factory in Trollhättan by 200 as a result of a delay in the start of production. On May 20, 2014, Nevs announced 'a short term stop of production' due to cash flow problems. The workers who remain at the factory will keep the factory in shape till the production can start again. The reductions will take effect by the end of September.
