American New Automotive Force Fisker Files for Bankruptcy Protection
TapTechNews June 18 - According to Reuters, the American new automotive force Fisker filed for bankruptcy protection late Monday.
Fisker Group Inc filed for bankruptcy protection. Estimate:
Assets: 500 million to 1 billion US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 3.633 billion to 7.265 billion yuan).
Liabilities: 100 million to 500 million US dollars (currently about 727 million to 3.633 billion yuan).
This startup said earlier this year that the negotiation with a large automaker ended, which led Fisker to start looking for other strategic options, including in-court or out-of-court restructurings and capital market transactions.
TapTechNews previously reported that Nissan had planned to invest about 400 million US dollars (currently about 2.906 billion yuan) in Fisker to obtain the electric pickup platform license.
In addition, due to software glitches and non-compliance with safety standards, Fisker announced on June 12 that it will recall more than 18,000 Fisker Ocean SUVs in North America and Europe, and plans to solve the problem through OTA software upgrades.
