The contract includes the full maintenance of 71 Coradia
Nordic trains Alstom has already supplied to Storstockholms
Lokaltrafik (SL) and the maintenance of 12 Coradia Nordic
trains scheduled for delivery in 2012 . The deal also covers
the maintenance of 52 older types of commuter trains
manufactured by ASEA.

Optimization of maintenance regime and presence of corrective
technicians in traffic care points will improve fleet
availability and performance. Besides, an Alstom fleet
management team will work in the customer control center using
TrainTracer. The addition of TrainTracer to a trains
control system makes it possible to generate by radio
transmission an almost continuous flow of data on the condition
of major components. Informed in real time or upon request,
technicians can analyse and anticipate eventual problems or
diagnose breakdowns. The increased use of predictive and
preventive maintenance significantly increases the effective
availability and profitability of fleets.

Alstoms maintenance services are supplied by a team of
more than 100 people in three local depots based in Bro,
Sodertalje and Alvsjo. Building on its experience of taking
over existing maintenance services, Alstom will put a special
emphasis on the integration of the current maintenance teams
through training programs and exchanges of best practices.

This order underlines confidence shown in Alstom and the
quality of our work. We are aiming to be a benchmark for the
maintenance industry and to deliver a modern top quality
service to Stockholmståg, declares Lars Kleppe,
Director of Alstom Transport for Nordic Countries and Baltic
States.
