The Power Behind Saab
The Saab Car Division and Saab Aircraft Division are a
part of Saab-Scania AB, a Swedish corporation that is
one of the world’s leaders in the fields of transportation
and communication.
The company’s diversification is unique. Within its
automotive and aerospace sectors, Saab-Scania’s
product programme presently comprises passenger
cars, trucks, buses, civil and military aircraft, satellites
and missiles. In each of these fields, the company is a
major source of technological leadership and
innovation.
Outside the transport and communication sectors,
Saab-Scania also supplies advanced products and
systems in electronics, optics and precision mechanics
as well as systems for energy recovery and heating.
‘THE ENGINEERING QUALITY
The tradition of quality in Saab-Scania engineering can
be exemplified by the development of the internal
combustion engine. From the early supercharged
diesels to today’s high-performance turbocharged
passenger car engines, Saab-Scania has been
recognized worldwide as a company that produces
products of power coupled with economy.
The Saab Turbo, which is sweeping the car
industry off its feet, came to be because of Scania’s 30
years experience of turbocharging heavy truck engines
to provide the power and economy needed to get the job
done.
But power alone is not enough. Response to
human needs and to structural and safety problems
must also be addressed. The person in command (pilot
or driver) must be comfortable and within an arm’s
reach of all instruments. The concern for ergonomics,
safety and comfort have always been hallmarks of
Saab-Scania’s product development.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
Saab-Scania’s belief in the future is seen through its
commitment to research and development.
Development costs for products in the Saab-Scania
range are very high. It is vital that expenditures are kept
as low as possible in both research and production.
Cooperation with other international companies is a
great advantage. Through the exchange of sharing
research and testing, we come across new ideas and
achieve the most from our research investments. The
Saab-Faichild 340 is a prime example of successful
cooperation.
It is our aim to continue compressing the
dimensions of the world — on land, air and space. Saab-
Scania is and intends to remain a leader of advanced
transportation technology.
