When Ziwei Huang prepared for Sweden’s first citizenship test, her husband Yang Xiao did what many engineers do when they encounter a problem. He started building. Not a vehicle component or a simulation model, but a website.
Ziwei and Yang met at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. Yang came to Sweden on a scholarship. Ziwei, who had studied abroad, was drawn to Sweden by a different approach to learning, with discussions and closer links between universities and industry.
Then came Scania. Yang joined in 2017 and works in chassis development, using simulation to evaluate and improve component life. Ziwei joined in 2019 and is a developer within connected vehicle data and digital services.
“I didn’t think I would stay this long. But Scania became a good place.”
– Ziwei Huang, Development Engineer
For Ziwei, Scania meant stability. As someone who needed a residence permit to work in Sweden, a large company made working life feel secure. Over time, Scania became more than a safe choice. “I didn’t think I would stay this long. But Scania became a good place.”
Yang describes something similar. Through Scania’s Personnel Enhancement programme, he has tried different roles and brought new knowledge back to his team.
So when Ziwei prepared for the citizenship test, Yang read the material and looked at what was available. When he saw that websites were charging fees for practice questions, he created an alternative.
The website Sverige Redo was made for Ziwei. “It became my way to contribute and support her a little,” Yang says. Now it can help others prepare for the same test.
At Scania, engineering is part of our daily work. Ziwei and Yang’s story reminds us that it is part of real life, too.
