Re: What does Scania mean?

Scania is one of the worlds largest heavy truck manufacturers. Then Scania-Vabis joined airplane and car manufacturer Saab in 1969, they split up in 1995. Scania was however not removed from the logo until later.

Saabs lago was based on Scanias and was redesigned by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd (the same artist that designed the non violence symbol http://www.un.org/events/peace_day99/non_violence.jpg ), earlier the Saab logo was an airplane in profile.
