Alstom signs a 10-year maintenance contract for Norrtåg’s fleet in Sweden

Alstom 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 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.
