Saab Engineering Services (SES) is a business unit within Saab Automobile which markets the company’s technical capabilities to the global automotive industry and beyond. We have an innovative and entrepreneurial approach with over 60 years of experience in designing, building and selling vehicles in a global market.



We offer our skills in a wide range of services including design, development and testing. The major portion of the development is done with computer simulation, virtual imaging and math data-based modelling, supported with physical tests. Much of this capability can be applied beyond automotive engineering. SES can be your one-stop shop for a complete vehicle project or provide virtually any step in between. We can also be your partner from small-scale manufacturing to serial production.

Welcome to Saab Engineering Services!

Please contact us to discuss how we can support you with our innovative engineering capabilities.



Engineering

We have a wide range of engineering competences including testing to support your development needs in all technical areas, also for non automotive applications.
We can offer a complete team set up, with project lead and designers acting in any global environment.

Architecture and Vehicle Integration




The Phoenix platform is scalable and modular to fit C, D and E segment vehicles. FWD and eAWD capabilities.

Electric & Electronics

Some of the possible services in the category Electric and Electronics are in the areas:

- Electrical architecture
- Software design
- Design reviews
- EMC
- Environmental testing

The team have for example deep knowledge about development of flexible HMI solutions that easily can be branded to different needs. We also have the capability to deliver complete solutions in climate control, panel cluster or infotainment.

Powertrain

The Powertrain area covers for example:

- Engines
- Turbo charging
- Biofuel
- Transmissions
- AWD
- Hybrid
- Control systems

Powertrain Sweden has over 30-years of experiences with high performance low displacement turbo applications. We offer world class engineering in a broad spectra of services within engines, transmissions, hybrids, controls, application development and clean technology from concept to serial production.

Sheet Metal & Interior Design



We have a substantial capacity and capability in Sheet metal and Interior design and offer services within the areas:

- Structure
- Closures
- Interiors
- Seats

Our designers has over 20 years of CAD experience from BIW design. This experience and knowledge can easily be used in designing other sheet metal applications. The team has also a broad experience of material and manufacturing processes. They are used to have a global responsibility and to meet design requirements for all global regions.

Chassis, Powertrain Integration & Thermal

The areas of Chassis, Powertrain Integration and Thermal covers for example:
- Brakes
- Suspension
- Steering
- Controls
- Fuel storage and handling
- HVAC

Each area is staffed with experienced design engineers as well as integration and developing engineers. If you need support with developing a new system or update an existing we are happy to support you.As an example of ongoing projects the fuel team has developed a stainless steel concept which can be offered to external customers.

Accessories & Special Vehicle

Services we offer in the area of Accessories & Special Vehicle:

- Accessory development
- Special vehicle development

If you need support with accessory development, we can assist you from idea to production including sourcing and material handling.

Styling

The competence and available tools in our Styling area cover:

- Advanced Design
- Production Design
- Digital Design
- Clay Modeling

Saab Design has core competence in all areas necessary to run a complete vehicle design development project or to support design of any product. The experienced team of specialists with a long track record of production programs and concept cars are dedicated and highly creative.
