Henrik Fisker stands with the Fisker Ocean electric vehicle after its unveiling at the Manhattan Beach Pier ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show and AutoMobilityLA in Manhattan Beach, California. The new filing comes after the Fisker company failed to secure an investment from a big automaker to keep afloat. The automaker, unlike most of its peers, contracted a third-party manufacturer to build the Fisker Ocean crossover. Déjà vuFor Henrik Fisker, a renowned automotive designer credited with designing the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin DB9, it's déjà vu. His first namesake company – Fisker Automotive – filed for bankruptcy protection in 2013, shortly after he left the company.
