Voxan will not be kicked out !

The commune of Issoire, which had taken legal action to recover the premises occupied free of charge by Voxan, has just been rejected: Voxan will not be evicted and will be able to continue its production, currently at the rate of six motorcycles per week.

Satisfaction for Voxan: the city of Issoire, owner of the premises occupied free of charge by the French manufacturer since an agreement reached in 2005, has just been rejected of its request to recover the premises and assign them to another company (read).

The judge considered that Voxan benefited from a commercial lease for the occupation of these 7000 m2 of premises, where it employs 17 employees for a production estimated at six motorcycles per week..

According to France 3 Auvergne, the new PS mayor of Issoire, Jacques Magne, would seem rather willing to make efforts to support Voxan, unlike his UMP predecessor Pierre Pascallon who had decided last year to "suspend all public aid to the company"(read).

The new mayor is therefore not expected to appeal the decision, which would allow Voxan to remain in place at least until November 2013. "What is important is that we build a future with the municipality of Issoire", estimates Eric Terrasse, president of the management board of the Company of design and construction of motorcycles (SCCM), questioned by France 3 Auvergne : "Voxan is very attached to the region and wants to build things in terms of great innovations on engines and motorcycles, with the region and with the municipality of Issoire".

Within a few years, Voxan could also set up in the new industrial zone under construction near the Issoire circuit..

For the time being, the French manufacturer has just closed a capital increase of 2.1 million euros and is preparing to test a new version of the V72 in a 1200 cc version, which will equip the GTV (read and). According to our information, this new engine which will develop 130 hp in full version could be tested this summer on the circuit by Dominique Sarron and his team. The objective is to release it in production at the end of 2008 so that it can be marketed on the 2009 range. To be continued … Stay connected !
