9 December 2024 – Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has signed a 10-year contract with operator VR for maintenance of the fleet of Norrtåg, provider of passenger train services in the four northernmost regions of Sweden. The maintenance will start in December 2025 and will be carried out in Umeå and Luleå, increasing the presence of Alstom’s operations in the north of Sweden.
The contract includes preventive and corrective maintenance, wheel turning, de-icing, as well as overhauls and repairs to ensure the Norrtåg fleet continues to run safely and reliably. The fleet’s 12 Coradia Nordic trains will be modified to enable condition monitoring with HealthHub, Alstom’s digital solution for condition-based and predictive maintenance. Under this agreement, Alstom will also be responsible for training more staff in Luleå to meet the customer's maintenance needs.
“Northern Sweden will see significant development in the coming years as part of the green industrialisation, and here, efficient maintenance of the trains plays a crucial role for both private travel and freight traffic."
