Riksförbundet M Sverige (M Sverige), formerly Motormännens riksförbund (The Swedish Automobile Association) is an organization for motor vehicle-owners in Sweden. It was established in 1922[1] in Malmö as "Sveriges förenade motormän" before changing name in 1924.[2]
A former CEO was Astrid Lindgren's husband Sture Lindgren who held the post from 1941 to 1952 and started the organization's own magazine Motor in 1943.[3] Astrid Lindgren was also working for the Motormännens riksförbund, writing articles for the magazine, and her first books Fem automobilturer i Sverige (1939) and 25 bilturer i Sverige (1949, English: 25 automobile tours in Sweden).[4]
