The Bahco Ergo was a one-off concept vehicle built by Leif Mellberg, through his company Mellberg Custom, on commission from the Swedish tool manufacturer Bahco. The Ergonomy Design Group also took part in developing the concept alongside Mellberg Custom and Bahco Tools. Although designed and built as a delivery van, its unusual styling led to it being counted among Europe's notable concept cars.
The vehicle was based on a Saab 9000 Turbo 16, from which only the front roof section and interior were carried over unchanged. Its underpinnings used the Saab's 4-cylinder, 1985 cc engine with DOHC and 16 valves, turbocharged to produce 175 hp at 5300 rpm and 273 Nm of torque at 3000 rpm. The body was a 2-door van layout supplemented by two rear gull-wing doors, with seating for two. Those rear doors were not intended for passenger access but to open up or display Bahco tools to dealers, and the whole design was meant to reflect the ergonomic qualities of the tools themselves.
A fold-out table was fitted for presenting Bahco products, and a video camera built into one of the gull-wing doors could record tool demonstrations for viewing on two monitors. Since no rear window was included, a second camera paired with a dashboard-mounted monitor served in place of a conventional rearview mirror. The front end carried an aerodynamic design with small twin headlamps set into it.
