Scania-Vabis was the name under which AB Scania-Vabis built trucks, buses, cars and engines after its formation in 1911. It was created by the merger of Vagnfabriks Aktiebolaget i Södertelge, known as Vabis and founded in 1891 as a railway car maker, with the Malmö firm Maskinfabriks-aktiebolaget Scania, founded in 1900 as a bicycle maker. Engines and light vehicles were developed in Södertälje while trucks were first built in Malmö, and the headquarters moved to Södertälje in 1912. The make built luxury cars before the First World War, focused on trucks from 1919 and supplied military vehicles to the Swedish Army, including the Stridsvagn m/41 light tank under licence. In the 1950s it grew into an export business, with the L71 Regent truck introduced in 1954.
