We have a little database here and I was able to get a few numbers out of it (OK, not me, but someone who was very kind and helpful). I thought those numbers might be interesting for a few people to look at. These are production numbers from 1950 up until the end of 2010. They include Saabs built outside […]
A month or so ago we were running a few test rides in our Saab 9-3 ePower vehicle at a Swedish event called Almedalen. Once the Saab 9-3 ePower returned to Trollhattan, I jumped in for a quick ride and we decided to shoot this short video of the car in action. The video was shot just outside our technical
Back in June I showed you a video of a Saab 9-5 driven by robotic controls, programmed according to GPS data and used for closed loop testing. Here’s a quick recap: A lot of vehicle testing takes place where the car is driven around a circuit by real people. There are times when this is absolutely necessary. People with experience
My obsession with the Saab 9-4x continues with a rare top view of the vehicle….. I was walking upstairs to talk to PR about a few things and this angle caught my eye. Two minutes later I was back with my camera. —
Saab 9-4x 3.0 Premium in Moorland Bronze. Like most Saab fans, I was a little skeptical when I first saw the 9-4x concept back in 2008.

Just wandering through the Saab bunker today, I noticed the rear of one our Saab 9-5’s had a fat lip. Always nice to see it parked next to a Saab 9-4x, too. Anyway, this is the first time I’d seen a rear spoiler on a 9-5 and it looked rather neat, hence the sharing. —
Saab have made several announcements in regard to deals made with Chinese companies Pang Da and Youngman since mid-May. These deals have changed slightly in nature as each new announcement has been made and I thought it might be useful for those interested in Saab business to track the dynamic nature of the deals. Please note that these are just
Welcome to the third film in a series of “Inside Saab” videos – a 10-part mini-series on what goes on in various departments here at Saab Automobile. When people think “wind tunnel” then generally think of aerodynamics. That’s not the case here. Saab’s wind tunnel isn’t an aero chamber, but a climate chamber which serves a very different function. This
I know what you’re thinking when you read that title…. You’re thinking this might be some sort of apocalyptic horror story where we aren’t allowed to drive anymore and robots from Sweden take over the driving, plugged into some evil worldwide network that monitors traffic, your speed, where you’ve been and so on and so forth. It sounds like Big
I’ll be writing more about this later in the week….. —
This is more likely a post for industry, but it’s also an interesting thing for Saab enthusiasts who enjoy knowing some of the wider aspects of the business. Saab has a great deal of expertise in many areas and a new operation, Saab Engineering Services, is seeking to offer that expertise to clients around the world. Saab, of course, is
