Implemented by Scania (owned by Volkswagen) and Siemens. The same are now the main partners behind the one in Germany.

When did Scania (and Saab presumably) ownership changed?

Saab-Scania (70's-90's) was split into Scania (trucks) and Saab Automobile. Scania maintained independent for a long while but is now owned by VW.

Saab Automobile was bought by GM (90's-2000's), who completely ruined the company, sold it for pennies, and now it's bankrupt.
