<strong>Haldex</strong> StoRY #101: the <strong>Haldex</strong> Car<br />
– 1987 I was out searching for parts for my old motorbikes. at a car museum in<br />
Borlänge, Sweden I found a unique car, a thulin type a from 1920. the car was<br />
roadworthy and it was for sale. When I told <strong>Haldex</strong>’ management about this car they<br />
became immediately interested since thulinverken represents <strong>Haldex</strong>’ early history. We<br />
transported the car to <strong>Haldex</strong> and formed a small group which spent our free time<br />
over seven years restoring it to its original condition. Many parts were not available,<br />
but we made new ones in <strong>Haldex</strong>’ workshop. our group had a great time tackling the<br />
technical challenges and we really enjoyed working together. today, the <strong>Haldex</strong> car is<br />
on display beside the front desk at <strong>Haldex</strong>, but we drive it regularly. We participate<br />
occasionally in vintage car rallies, and anyone who has retired from <strong>Haldex</strong> can have<br />
a ride. our car is number 202 in a series of a total of 400 cars from thulinverken, and<br />
today there are only about ten operational cars left. the <strong>Haldex</strong> car is a rare gem that<br />
we are very happy to have preserved. | Bosse Andersson, Test Technician<br />
