It differs in the sources, and they were made in cooperation with several manufacturers. ASEA made the electrical equipment and Hägglund & Söner the body. But also Scania-Vabis and Motala Verkstad was involved for the chassis. They were delivered in january 1941 to Stockholms Spårvägar with litera F1, number A30501-A30520
