We stand now at the dawn of a new era for our company. Recent investments in our factory, and most importantly, in our people, see the compa- ny and the wider Koenigsegg family growing like never before. Everything is bigger at Koenigsegg than it was a year ago today. We have seen record sales, record growth in our workforce and facilities, and for the first time ever, we now have two vehicles being built in parallel on our production line. We thought that building the One:1 was ambitio- us. The new Koenigsegg Regera raised ambition to a whole new level and is a car that I could not be more proud of. The driving experience is sublime, the power delivery may just redefine the word ‘smooth’ and whilst few may believe it is possible, the quality of the work done by our engineers and our craftsmen has been raised even higher. It is my dream to build the absolute best high-performance sports cars in the world. If you are reading this magazine, chances are that you dream of owning one of these amazing crea- tions yourself some day. I sincerely hope that both our dreams come true.

  • 2018 GENEVA-MOTORSHOW.Pdf
    /GENEVA MOTOR SHOW 2018 Geneva is the best show to get an overview of the future of the European and broader auto industry as there are always significant launches of new vehicles and concepts of the future. One thing that is clear is that the industry is facing dramatic change. The car world has been shaped by petrol heads, and the idea that the future of the automobile will be dominated by electric, autonomous and shared vehicles is an unavoidable reality that is not that easy to take. Some car makers are embracing the change, some are fighting against it, and some seem to be in a a state of paralysis. The show had a multitude of Visions, Vizzions, Mission e’s and i’s. A vast array of supercars, AMG’s, M’s and SV’s And a variety of classics from the past, showing a certain nostalgia of this fast changing world. The industry for the last 100 years has been perfecting “the ultimate driving machine”, faster, bigger, sexier and more expensive. The industry has optimised the design process with masterful surfacing, fit and finish, the finest engineering, and the glossiest of marketing. It now has to reinvent itself, as the architecture, driving emotion and customer needs change. I have picked out some of the themes and highlights from this years show. /AROUND THE SHOW /THEMES /EV and HYBRID PERFORMANCE Some of the stand out cars of the show, introducing a new crisp/clean design language, where white signified electric.

  • Jesko Von Koenigsegg
    The Man Behind The Name: Jesko von Koenigsegg GENEVA - -- March 5, 2019 The Koenigsegg Jesko, the all-new megacar shown at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, is named in honour of a special person in the history of Koenigsegg Automotive. Jesko von Koenigsegg’s contribution to Koenigsegg Automotive pre-dates the existence of the company. It was Jesko who took a young Christian von Koenigsegg to see Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, the Norwegian animated film that inspired the dream that would eventually become Koenigsegg Automotive. It was Jesko and his wife, Brita, who nurtured that dream. They encouraged their son’s interest in practical engineering; rebuilding monkey bikes and mopeds, and tuning boat engines. Together, they showed him what business acumen looked like - Jesko as a successful serial entrepreneur and Brita with her renowned millinery business in Stockholm. In 1995, having recently sold his business, Jesko joined Christian in Olofstrom during the earliest days of the company for what was supposed to be a six-week stint of assistance. Those six weeks turned into 5 years... Jesko became the first Chairman of the Koenigsegg board while he poured his life - and much of his life savings - into the future of the Koenigsegg company. His business experience proved invaluable as he built an experienced board that would put structures and practices in place to carry the company into the future. “The board understood that the vision for this car was not just a young man’s dream. It was driven by a fierce passion that would accept nothing but the best” he said.

  • Koenigsegg to Embark on Evolutionary Journey for Future Growth
    Koenigsegg to embark on evolutionary journey for future growth Press release 29 January 2019, Ängelholm, Sweden Koenigsegg AB is forming a strategic partnership with NEVS AB, enabling the development of parallel vehicle models in slightly higher volumes with emphasis on electrification, as well as strengthening growth opportunities in the hyper car segment. NEVS is making a capital injection of EUR 150 million, thereby taking a 20 percent minority stake in Koenigsegg’s parent company. Additionally, the parties are forming a joint venture to expand into new market segments where NEVS AB is contributing USD 150 million in starting capital for a 65 percent stake and Koenigsegg obtains 35 percent by contributing primarily with intellectual property, technology licenses, and product design. The partnership will deepen an already existing collaboration between Koenigsegg and NEVS, creating synergies between their geographical footprints, experiences and competencies. Koenigsegg already has a distinguished unique market position for hyper cars, and through the additional joint venture NEVS and Koenigsegg are partnering up to develop a product for new and untapped segments, leveraging both of the companies’ strengths. Through NEVS production facilities in Trollhättan, Koenigsegg will access additional capabilities as well as benefiting from the extensive automotive knowledge in the region, whilst maintaining their centre of excellence in Ängelholm. Alongside NEVS capacity for production in Trollhättan and China, NEVS through its majority owner Evergrande, has a wide distribution platform and channels through ownership in one of China’s largest car retailers. “Koenigsegg is breaking new ground, capitalising on our unique technology, performance track record and market position to explore and develop new products.

  • Examensarbete Maskiningenjör 180 Hp
    Examensarbete Maskiningenjör 180 hp Konceptutveckling av ett förband/koppling I samarbete med Koenigsegg Automotive AB Maskinteknik 15 hp Halmstad 2021-06-01 Tobias Frank och Andreas Essunger Förord Examensarbetet i maskinteknik på 15 hp har utförts vid akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet vid Högskolan i Halmstad. Studenterna kommer från Maskiningenjörsprogrammet med inriktningen Produktionsutveckling och har under våren 2021 samarbetat med Koenigsegg Automotive AB. Vi vill börja med att tacka Koenigsegg Automotive AB för den unika chansen och möjligheten till att utföra detta intressanta examensarbete. Ett stort tack ska riktas till vår kontaktperson på företaget, Johan Wretborn för givande och intressanta diskussioner under projektets gång och våra varannan-vecka sessioner. Vi vill även rikta ett stort tack till vår handledare från Högskolan i Halmstad, Håkan Petersson som har varit till stort stöd under projektets gång med nyttig feedback och värdefull information. Halmstad, Maj 2021 Tobias Frank & Andreas Essunger Sammanfattning Genom att kombinera traditionell förbränningsmotorteknik med elmotorer kan Koenigsegg Automotive AB dra nytta av vissa fördelar som uppkommer med den här typen av konfiguration, fördelar som sedan kan implementeras i deras supersportbil, Regera. Exempel på en fördel är att förbränningsmotorn kan skalas ner, vilket ger en betydande viktbesparing, men ingen vidare kompromiss på den totala effekten som resultat. Ett annat exempel är att elmotorns karaktär av ”direkt kraftöverföring” kan nyttjas vid en häftig acceleration där en konventionell bensinmotor har en viss fördröjning. Syftet med det här examensarbetet har varit att utveckla ett koncept för ett vridmomentsöverförande förband/koppling. Projektet grundar sig i att dagens förband mellan de olika motorerna tenderar att stämma in på varandras egenfrekvenser, vilket under vissa förhållanden leder till en amplitudökning av vibrationer.

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.
