The series of Cray systems that went to Sweden started with Cray-1 SN9 later to be replaced by XMP SN206 and others. Unusually the system was shared between The University at Linkoping and Saab-Scania using the Multi Level Security features of Unicos. Work on Jets, cars and trucks was completed.

” ••. the masters of the Cray I supercomputer
that lives in the aviation fortress at Linkoping provided the data-crunching that led to the most spectacular truck development–Computer-Aided Gear shifting, known at Scania by the acronym CAG. the aircraft aerodynamicists had helped write
in the software to analyze the car guys’ shapes. The car engineers and the aviation engineers had begun using the Cray together to solve the low-speed aerodynamics modeling problems presented by the 9000’s design, then went on to design the new front suspension for the 9000, saving thousands of man-hours in the process. “
