History
Marques
Svaartaron
The mainstays of Svaartaron's offerings consist of relatively utilitarian vehicles for the budget-conscious, as well as commercial buyers, government contracts, and tradesmen. Svaartarons typically have a low starting price offset by the generally-low number of standard features; even on modern vehicles, hand-cranked windows are common, air-conditioning is often optional, and manual transmissions are the norm.

Farrangur
Named after famed Ottonian automotive designer Jord Farrangur, the Farrangur marque is Svaartaron's sporting and, to a lesser extent, luxury marque (at least relatively-speaking). Farrangur designs often platform-share with comparable Svaartaron models, but generally come with more standard features and higher performance margins.
