Fisker Shuts Down Factory For Six Weeks As Future Is Uncertain

For Fisker, the month of March is currently dominated by not-too-hopeful news. At the beginning of this month, it became clear that jobs are disappearing at Fisker and that it is looking for a major car manufacturer as a partner. lender. At the end of last week, a rumour emerged that bankruptcy was in the air. Bloomberg now reports that Fisker itself has also issued a warning that it may have to ‘seek protection under bankruptcy laws’. That does not sound well. Fisker also makes a public statement.

Fisker has now indicated that it will halt production for six weeks. The reason it gives for this is that stocks need to be replenished. It also needs time to further investigate how to proceed strategically and financially. In any case, one thing is positive: Fisker indicates that there are still discussions with a major car manufacturer about possible investments in Fisker and the ‘joint development of one or more EV platforms and cooperation for North American production’. Reuters learned earlier this month that this would involve Nissan.
