Today Spyker Cars NV (Spyker), which owns the Swedish company Saab Automobile AB, froze into a strategic partnership with Chinese automaker Hawtai Motor Group Company Limited (Hawtai). By the end of 2010 financial results of Saab were deplorable, and in April 2011 the automaker's assembly line to stop altogether because of debts to suppliers. Hawtai Motor Group had intended to promote the Swedish brand into the Chinese market, and instead relied on access to new technologies, that can help her become a global automaker. The transaction amount in the medium term was to be more than € 150 million of them- € 120 million, China intends to invest in Saab, to increase its stake in the company to 29.9%. Another € 30 million Hawtai Motor gave a convertible loan for six months at an interest rate of 7% per annum. The strategic partnership of the company includes co-production, technology development and distribution of automobiles. Although was reported, that the formal reason for denial- China has not provided all the necessary documents for collaboration, there are indications, that the real reason for the denial- an unwillingness to share technology with the Chinese automaker. The fact that the brand SAAB produced not only cars but also aircraft, mostly fighters. Although at this time Autoworks of SAAB and SAAB aircraft manufacturing plant owned by completely different companies and have not currently connection between themselves, but it should be noted, that the car of company SAAB emerged from SAAB aircraft company, and production technology of SAAB cars still used by many aviation technology, which still may be interested in China. If we consider a historical perspective on the development of SAAB, then the Saab Automobile AB (Swedish: SAAB) - Swedish carmaker, a manufacturer of passenger cars under the brand SAAB founded in April 1937 for the production of military aircrafts. Already in production of the first car of SAAB has the excellent aerodynamic (affected relationship with the aircraft), an independent suspension. In other words, Saab cars are made with aviatehnology, car design uses a lightweight aluminum parts. Striving forward, aerodynamically perfect body, front bumper air intakes, external kit, even the back of the body - all reminiscent of a jet fighter of new generation. All innovative ideas from design to security, everything was taken from the ultra aviatehnology. Saab - it's a plane on the highway, even the layout of the cabin-cockpit driver's console looks like a modern airplane instrument panel, steering-wheel with all kinds of switches, allowing the pilot without distracting from the road to use a particular function for a more safe and convenient passage of a bend. The most integral part of the Saab - the engine, all engines Saab developed and linked with aviatehnology. Everyone knows, that in the aircraft industry, especially in the manufacture of engines, turbines are used. Motors of Saab cars, as well as aircraft, also equipped with turbines turbines which, Saab developing and improving for 30-odd years, both for cars and jet planes. All Saab cars are equipped with turbines that are picked up and accelerates the car at lightning speed to 100 km/h in a 6.5 seconds. When developing the chassis is also used by Saab, unique chassis of its kind ReAxs (thrusters rear wheel), allowing the driver to the car, as the pilot, take a sharp turn - so it will only be a feeling that you just dents in the bucket seats. And the shock absorbers are adjusted so that, naturally swallow all road irregularities, and the car just flies on the highway, as if on a hovercraft. In Saab cars have all the safety systems in the plane of the retractors seatbelts, all known active systems such as ERS (exchange rate stability) to design the body shell with the zones of absorption and distribution of impact. For example, all airbags two-phase, depending on the force of the blow-board computer calculates how and in what order to open the bags. Retractors seatbelts trigger, pulling the passenger interior seats, active head restraints will work so that the driver and passengers will not suffer the cervical spine. Thus, it is possible that the Chinese representatives were more interested just in getting aviation technology from Saab, which found application in the design of Saab cars. While the deal with Hawtai Motor Group just frozen, and most likely, that Hawtai Motor Group, or another Chinese automaker will soon try again to buy a stake in Saab.
