Saab (GM) must buy expensive Haldex units from Halda, or, in the event of manufacturing it themselves, pay silly money in royalties to Halda.
The Irony here, is that the "Haldex-tincan" was invented by a Swedish rally-cross driver who then tried to sell it to Volvo. They didn't want it.
The poor man tried to sell it to Saab. THEY DIDN'T WANT IT. Then he went to Halda. They didn't want it. Then he went to Mercedes. Who told Halda to take a second look. Halda bought it.
And WOLKSWAGEN bought the exclusive right to buy Haldex cans for a year. (Or was it three?)
Saab using a Haldex can now must be like swallowing a camel...
