A. Wong Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think KMB has some newer ones. Scania seems to be the Freightliner/Volvo in some countries in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Wong Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Totally didn't click in that I was in the American section there. How did the relationship with Saab come into play? Did they jointly build the buses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they jointly build the buses? The companies merged in the '60s for financial stability. Scania did the heavy trucks and buses, while Saab did their whole cars-cum-jets thang.

G.A Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 The company was Saab who built the buses. When I first saw a pic of one, I thought it was a Demo GM or MCI "Classic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scania made trucks/buses. While the company was merged it was called Saab-Scania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. McConnell Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Do you have or know of where I can get some pictures of these Scania's Google is your friend (just be wary of descriptions that list it as a "Saab-Scania" bus, as Saab had nothing to do with its production.)
