  • Au 81 Vechicl3e Body Engg Notes
    UNIT 1- CAR BODY DETAILS Cars can come in a large variety of different body styles . Some are still in production, while others are of historical interest only. These styles are largely (though not completely) independent of a car's classification in terms of price, size and intended broad market; the same car model might be available in multiple body styles (or model ranges ). For some of the following terms, especially relating to four-wheel drive / SUV models and minivan / MPV models, the distinction between body style and classification is particularly narrow. Please note that while each body style has a historical and technical definition, in common usage such definitions are often blurred. Over time, the common usage of each term evolves. For example, people often call 4-passenger sport coupés a "sports car", while purists will insist that a sports car by definition is limited to two-place vehicles. Body work In automotive engineering , the bodywork of an automobile is the structure which protects: ⦁ The occupants ⦁ Any other payload ⦁ The mechanical components. In vehicles with a separate frame or chassis , the term bodywork is normally applied to only the non-structural panels, including doors and other movable panels, but it may also be used more generally to include the structural components which support the mechanical components. Construction There are three main types of automotive bodywork: ⦁ The first automobiles were designs adapted in large part from horse-drawn carriages, and had body-on-frame construction with a wooden frame and wooden or metal body panels. Wooden-framed motor vehicles remain in production to this day, with many of the cars made by the Morgan Motor Company still having wooden structures underlying their bodywork.

  • The Case of Saab Automobile AB from Core Capabilities Into Core Rigidities - a Trajectory Towards Demise
    Master Degree Project in Knowledge-based Entrepreneurship The case of Saab Automobile AB From core capabilities into core rigidities - A trajectory towards demise Giacomo Buzzoni and Magnus Eklund Supervisor: Evangelos Bourelos Master Degree Project No. 2016:148 Graduate School The Case of Saab Automobile AB From Core Capabilities into Core Rigidities - A Trajectory Towards Demise © Giacomo Buzzoni & Magnus Eklund School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg, Vasagatan 1, P.O. Box 600 SE 40530 Gothenburg, Sweden All rights reserved No part of this master thesis may be reproduced without prior written permission from the authors Acknowledgements First of all, we would like to thank our supervisor Evangelos Bourelos for his patience and effort in providing us with meaningful advice throughout these months of intense research. We would also like to express our appreciation and gratitude towards all our respondents who have allocated their valuable time to help us interpret this interesting case. Your passion, knowledge and commitment guided us through this journey, and we have enjoyed every single day of it. Finally, we would like to thank our peer students and all the people close to us for your support during our years of university studies. Without you, this would not have been possible. ABSTRACT This master thesis is addressing the case of Saab Automobile AB, creating a full historical reconstruction using primarily extensive quotes derived from semi-structured interviews with former Saab employees and other relevant actors. The aim is to depict and discuss the roots behind the company’s historically unique capabilities and its trajectory towards failure, together with the influence of General Motors’ ownership in this detrimental process.

  • 92-96 Fakta, Page 1
    92-96_fakta, Page 1 Förord Detta dokument handlar om vad SAAB, så vitt jag vet, sysslade med fram till tidigt sjuttiotal. Tyngdpunkten ligger på SAABs bilar och då både produktionsmodeller och konceptbilar. Egentligen skulle det bara handla om tvåtaktsmodellerna men det vore opraktiskt att inte ta med även SAAB 95/96 med V4-motorer. Dock avhandlas ej flygsektionen utom som information om hur SAAB tillkom. Bilmodellerna beskrivs så noga som möjligt. Det har inte alltid varit lätt att få tag på pålitliga specifikationer på vissa modeller, t.ex. GT 750 och GT 850. Mer än 50% av de internetsidor som påstod sig ha specifikationer på dessa påstod att motorn hade 6 ventiler !!!!! (Båda modellerna är ju 2-taktare) Behöver jag tala om att jag försvann ”som en avlöning” från dessa sidor. Dock går jag inte in på detaljspecifikationer när det gäller motorerna då jag planerar ett särskilt dokument om SAABs motorer men det projektet har ännu inte tagit form. Med i detta dokument finns, i så god kronologisk ordning som är praktiskt möjligt, kortfattade beskrivningar av annan produktion och projekt som försiggick under 50-, 60- och 70-tal. SAAB gör ett försök att producera en liten aluminiumbåt 1944, när krigslutet kunde skönjas, formades planerna att man skulle starta tillverkning av en liten aluminiumbåt. 1946 inleddes produktionen. Båtmodellen kallades för Saalina och var en nitad aluminiumkonstruktion, man hade ju gott om aluminiumplåt och nitar från flygplans- tillverkningen. I första hand var den avsedd att ros men kunde även ha en utombordsmotor. Båten var öppen men åtminstone ett exemplar blev halvdäckat och fick vindruta.

  • SAAB FORMULA JUNIOR a Unique Chapter in Swedish Motoring History
    SAAB FORMULA JUNIOR A unique chapter in Swedish motoring history. Compiled by Nils-Gunnar Svensson and Ulf G Andersson. Translation by Gunnar K Johansson and Ray Beaufoy. A Swedish formula Junior racing car, manufactured in one of the country’s automotive plants was something completely unique in 1960 and unprecedented in Swedish motoring history. From un-published photos, Saab documents, newspapers articles of the time and, above all, discussions with as many people as possible that were involved in this project we have strived to create an accurate account of the historical events related to Saabs two Formula Junior cars manufactured in Trollhättan. THE DEVELOPMENT WORK The development of SAAB’s Formula Junior was a direct follow up of the competition activities once initiated by Rolf Mellde (head of the test department) with the Saab 92. Without successful competition activities started by Mellde and Landbü in 1949 and resultant competition success, the development and testing of a completely new car in such a concentrated and effective manner would not have been possible. Through competition success with the Saab 92 and 93, Saab´s management began to understand that there was high PR -value to be gained by using competition successes in company advertisements and sales brochures. It was also obvious that Rolf Mellde wholeheartedly gave support in promoting the advantages of front wheel drive. During the entire 1950´s, Rolf Mellde played a major part in competition activities and, as we now know, he also achieved considerable success. 1 The development of the Sonett 1 was further step in that direction, but unfortunately, due to changes in classification and tuning requirements, there was only a short future for this type of pure racing sports car.

  • Saabism and Saabists: a Digital Ethnographic Analysis of Saab Culture
    Paper Saabism and Saabists A digital ethnographic analysis of Saab culture by Ico Maly© (Tilburg University) [email protected] August 2017 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ Saabism and Saabists A digital ethnographic analysis of Saab culture Abstract: Both Simmel and Goffman were deeply persuaded that the big things in society, in actual observable reality are made up of a dynamic and complex system of interlocking and interacting small things. In this paper, I wish to examine the online-offline communicative and semiotic practices of one such “less conspicuous” social group: the Saabists. Based on long term digital ethnographic research I will provide a description and analysis of how Saabists discursively and semiotically construct identity on-and offline in a transnational niche. Saabists, I will argue, are a translocal and polycentric micro-population sharing a ‘culture’ – Saab culture or Saabism - and an ‘identity’. I clearly argue in favor of a materialistic approach to identity and group formation. The reasons therefore are evident: Identity should not only be understood in a certain chronotope, but is also embedded in ‘infrastructure’, what Arnaut, Karrebaek and Spotti (2016) call Poiesis-infrastructures. Keywords: Micro-population, culture, (digital) ethnography, Saab and Saabism.
