• Alstom and SJ (sj.se) have signed a new contract for night train maintenance in Luleå and Stockholm;
• The contract covers 75 carriages and 12 locomotives and runs for two years;
• Alstom continues to strengthen its long-term commitment in northern Sweden through increased investment and recruitment.
The contract runs for two years and includes maintenance work at depots in Luleå and Stockholm. This is an important step in Alstom's long-term commitment in northern Sweden through increased investment and recruitment of maintenance employees.
The contract covers 75 carriages and 12 RC6 locomotives used on night train routes Stockholm-Umeå-Luleå-Narvik. Alstom has been responsible for night train maintenance since 2013, improving availability and delivering higher operational quality over the years.
“We are excited to expand and grow in northern Sweden, both in terms of depot staff and administrative personnel,” says Lisa Harlin, Head of the North Business Area at Alstom in Sweden.
The new contract aligns with Alstom's long-term strategy for northern Sweden, where the company has also recently signed a ten-year full maintenance contract for Norrtåg’s fleet. To accommodate growing maintenance needs, Alstom is upgrading its Luleå depot and investing in advanced data-driven asset management solutions, which will be integrated with our Sweden-based Maintenance Performance Centre.
“Working with these vehicles requires a special type of experience and problem-solving. Our unique competence lies in our extensive track record in maintenance and dedicated employees,” says Lisa Harlin.
Alstom is the largest supplier to the Swedish train market, with over a thousand trains delivered to the Swedish railways and several major maintenance contracts. Alstom also leads the implementation of the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) signalling system in Sweden, both onboard and along the tracks.
Alstom is also the market leader in rail services, supporting customers over the entire asset lifecycle with the broadest portfolio of service solutions.
