Saab-Scania AB was a Swedish manufacturer of vehicles, established through the 1969 union of Saab AB and Scania-Vabis. The company was dissolved in 1995.
History
On 1 September 1969, the Södertälje-based truck and bus producer Scania AB joined forces with the Trollhättan-based car and aircraft manufacturer Saab AB,[1][2] under the ownership umbrella of the Wallenberg family. This merger allowed Saab to cease importing the British Triumph Slant-4 engine by utilizing Scania’s in-house engine manufacturing capabilities. By 1972, production began on the 2.0 L B engine variant. Leveraging Scania’s expertise with turbocharger technology, Saab introduced a turbocharged version of this engine in 1977, marking one of the earliest mass-produced turbocharged automobile engines.Template:Fix/category[citation needed]
Following the company's breakup in 1995, the truck and bus operations reverted to the name Scania AB. Meanwhile, Saab Aircraft (Saab AB) and Saab Automobile were separated, with General Motors acquiring a significant stake in Saab Automobile AB.
