Sweden: Alstom to Provide Maintenance for SJ Night Trains
The contract, which covers 75 carriages and 12 RC6 locomotives, will run for two years and include work carried out in both the company’s depots in Luleå and Stockholm.
Alstom has signed a new contract with SJ for the maintenance of a number of night trains.
The contract, which covers 75 carriages and 12 RC6 locomotives, will run for two years and include work carried out in both the company’s depots in Luleå and Stockholm.
Lisa Harlin, Head of the North Business Area at Alstom in Sweden, said:
We are excited to expand and grow in northern Sweden, both in terms of depot staff and administrative personnel.
The trains are currently in operation along the Stockholm–Umeå–Luleå–Narvik night train route, having been consistently maintained by Alstom since 2013.
With the signing of the new contract, Alstom continues its long-term strategy to expand its services within Northern Sweden, with the company recently having signed a ten-year, full maintenance contract for Norrtåg’s fleet.
In response to the increase in Swedish business, Alstom has also announced plans to upgrade its Luleå depot, as well as make further investments into advanced data-driven asset management solutions, which will in turn be integrated with its Sweden-based Maintenance Performance Centre.
Lisa Harlin concluded:
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.
