More information on Saab-Scania: The use of the Saab-Scania symbol was modified twice - in 1990 and in 1992. Saab Automobile AB was established as an independent company on 1 January 1990 as a result of a cooperation agreement between Saab-Scania AB and General Motors (Europe) AG. Starting in 1995, when the Saab-Scania Group was disintegrated and a 50 percent holding in Saab Automobile was taken by Investor AB, Scania began using a new version of the earlier Group symbol. I just want more information as to WHY. I do recall Sweden entering the EU in 1994, so perhaps a year later that had something to do with it from what I barely recall. I do want those specifics. If that "why" for the split could be somehow "reversed", then Saab would have a good opportunity with SCANIA once again which would sit well on basically everyone period!! :) Saab Guy On Fri, 29 Apr 2005 18:08:43 GMT Saab Guy <nothingnospamo.com> wrote: > > I have also heard that SCANIA became an independant company in 1995. > > The history of SCANIA on scania.com doesn't indicate anything about Saab the automobile.
