According to a Reuters report, Saab is looking ahead to building their own hybrids. They plan on using the dual-mode system co-developed by BMW, DaimlerChrysler and GM. GM is planning on rolling out the Saturn Vue as a dual-mode hybrid next year, modified to work in a front-wheel-drive vehicle. Saab hopes to build their hybrid off of the same technology.
According to the story I read, Saab is looking to cut costs by integrating themselves further with GM overall, so this would be part of that plan. Saab wanted to get the news out despite not having any firm plans, what with their direct competitor Mercedes-Benz said on Tuesday that it would bring its first hybrid to market in 2009.
