Polestar ska bli ett helt eldrivet prestandamärke, men första modellen ut, Polestar 1, blev en laddhybrid med bensinmotor. Men fler modeller är på gång, och nykomlingarna ska bli helt eldrivna. Autocar har fått en intervju med Polestarchefen Thomas Ingenlath och det är framför allt tre detaljer som sticker ut i intervjun.

    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.

  • Samhällsförändring På Väg Perspektiv På Den Svenska Bilismens Utveckling Mellan 1950 Och 2007
    Samhällsförändring på väg Perspektiv på den svenska bilismens utveckling mellan 1950 och 2007 Eva Lindgren Institutionen för ekonomisk historia 901 87 Umeå Umeå 2010 Avhandlingen ingår i serien Umeå Studies of Economic History Copyright©Eva Lindgren ISBN: 978-91-7264-988-0 ISSN: 0347-254-X Tryck: Print & Media Umeå, Sverige 2010 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to give a perspective on the development of the Swedish automobility, and the automobility’s role for economic historical development between 1950 and 2007 by studying the interaction between the diffusion of the private car on national and regional level, the households’ preferences and the government’s regulations of car ownership. The first paper compares car diffusion in Norway and Sweden in order to find explanations for the national and regional patterns. We ask whether the Norwegian time lag and the diffusion process can be explained with national differences in income, institutions, infrastructure and population settlements; or if regional differences in income and population density have affected the outcome? The conclusion is that car diffusion in Norway and Sweden displays two sides of the same coin; the national levels converged, but the process did not follow the same regional pattern. The second paper examines whether the diffusion of private cars followed the over-all socio-economic and geographical changes in Sweden from 1960 to 1975. In particular, it asks if ownership per capita followed changes in incomes or changes in population density (urbanisation). The analysis is based on Swedish parish-scale census material that includes all car owners for the years 1960, 1970 and 1975.

  • 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 9-5Ngproduction Report
    Saab 9-5NG Production report 20180905 EN v1.2 About the report Arguably one of the most beautiful Saab models ever made, the Saab 9-5 “New Generation” was introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 2009. During the two years that followed, a total of 11,320 production 9-5s rolled off the assembly lines in Trollhättan, Sweden. The interest for the 9-5NG has been growing steadily since and the cars are now rapidly becoming collector’s items. With the increasing popularity, the demand for detailed production data has also grown, but the demise of Saab Automobile AB unfortunately made access to reliable information quite difficult. This report is aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of actual production data related to the Saab 9-5NG Sedan and SportCombi models. It is compiled by Saab enthusiast and 9-5NG owner Henrik Zaar, with help from employees at Orio AB and lots of Saab 9-5 owners and fans. Special thanks go to Trond-Arve Hjelle, Philip Salonen, Patric Sonestad and Marcus Wigh, as without their help and contacts gathering all the data would have been a virtually impossible task. Photo credits: Saab Automobile AB and private collections. Editing: Michèl Annink. Cloud storage: Hampus Gustafsson at ownCloud. The report is not affiliated with or approved by Saab AB, Saab Automobile AB, General Motors or Orio AB. It is free to use for individual use, but any commercial usage must be agreed upon with the author. Access to the underlying database can also be granted upon request.
