Saab-Scania AB was a Swedish vehicle manufacturer that was formed from the 1969 merger of Saab AB and Scania-Vabis. The company was split in 1995.
History
Truck and bus manufacturer Scania AB of Södertälje merged with car and aeroplane manufacturer Saab AB of Trollhättan on 1 September 1969, [1] [2] under the Wallenberg family group of companies. The merger meant that Saab no longer had to import the British Triumph Slant-4 engine, and could instead use the engine production facilities of Scania. In 1972 they started manufacturing the 2.0 L B version. In 1977, Saab took advantage of Scania's experience with turbochargers and added one to the engine, thus creating one of the earliest turbocharged automobile engines to be produced in large numbers.[ citation needed]
When the corporation was split in 1995, the name of the truck and bus division changed back to Scania AB. Saab Aircraft ( Saab AB) and Saab cars were also split, with General Motors buying a major holding in Saab Automobile AB.
Divisions
Saab-Scania consisted of following divisions:
- Aircraft (traded under the Saab AB brand) – until 1995
- Cars (traded under the Saab Automobile brand) – until 1990
- Trucks & Buses (traded under the Scania brand) – until 1995
Subsidiaries
Saab-Scania had following subsidiaries:
- AB Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning (ASJA) – until 1981
- Jönköping – until 1983
- Nordarmatur – until 1983
