The know-how gained from developing and manufacturing so many different products became an asset for Husqvarna when designing new products and challenging existing solutions. This was an early way of “thinking outside the box”, well exemplified by the development of Husqvarna’s first chainsaw. Existing chainsaws on the market at the time caused problems with noise pollution. By using motorcycle muffler technology, which was developed in-house, the noise level of the Husqvarna 90 was cut down to half that of the contemporary competition. Soon afterwards, this solution was followed by, amongst others, new inventions like anti-vibration that prevented vibration white fingers disease and the first automated chain brake.
