The badges on the front look like those of the coachbuilder H. Höglund & Co., later known as Säffle Karosserifabrik AB. Similar (later) badge with Säffle Lättmetall written on it. -- Last edit: 2020-11-20 19:28:55 |

Not just Säffle? (from https://forum.omnibuss.se/index.php?topic=42339.0 ) |

I mean - this design seems to be later, when it was Säffle rather than Höglund... |

I'm not sure when exactly did 'Säffle', 'Säffle Karosserifabrik' or 'Säffle Karosseri AB' renamed themselves like that. According to svenskbusshistoria, several operating buses with the H. Höglund & Co name were in use as late as the late 1970s. The badge 'Säffle Lättmetall' already existed in the older era of H. Höglund & Co. (1940s? 1950s?): Link to "www.tradera.com" |

Clearly out of my comfort zone here, but this 1966 Scania-Vabis D11R21 comes pretty close and in my understanding they were still H. Höglund & Co of Säffle, Sweden, back then. |

Name changed from H. Höglund & Co to Säffle Karosseri in 1981... http://www.safflehembygd.se/Karossen%20flygblad.pdf https://forum.omnibuss.se/index.php?topic=9463.0 But then - we have older buses described as Säffle, not Höglund -- Last edit: 2020-11-20 23:54:00 (dsl) |

Smell like as you that I also guess this is a Scania-Vabis or Volvo B6XX / B7XX series... -- Last edit: 2020-11-20 23:03:44 |

But even for this 1950 example, the svenskbusshistoria page lists the coachbuilder as H. Höglund & Co, not Säffle. |

You don´t use the name Daimler Benz AG about Mercedes-Benz cars here. Pure swedes say "Säffle". This Säffle-body was still current 1966 when Volvo B58 was introduced. One example is DOT139 owned by Värmlands Bussveteraner. -- Last edit: 2020-11-21 21:12:40 |

@maxp, from Jale's link: Google translated: To my understanding, buses that were built before the takover in 1981, were still officially designated with Höglund name. Your mentioned DOT139 Volvo B58 is listed with the Höglund bodywork as well: https://www.svenskbusshistoria.se/go/?id=17691 |

When watching that film i found the number BRB282 which is 1965 Scania-Vabis BF 5659. Body H.Höglund Säffle . |

Is there any connection between Höglund and Hagglund in Swedish? |
◊ 2020-11-21 21:45 |
They are surnames. Hög means high, tall, loud or tumulus. Hägg is the bird cherry tree and Lund is a Grove. So Höglund would mean 'The Grove on a high location' and Hägglund would mean something like 'The Grove in the bird cherry trees'. |

Thank you, the fact that they were both coachbuilders is therefore coincidental. I have spent some time in Ornskjoldsvik in January. It is cold. |
