In Sweden, Alstom is awarded a new maintenance contract for 62 Mälartåg trains

Alstom, a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has been awarded a comprehensive maintenance contract for Mälartåg commuter trains. It marks an important milestone in delivering robust and efficient solutions for Swedish rail transport. The agreement covers the maintenance of the entire Mälartåg fleet consisting of a total of 62 trains for up to ten years, providing long-term stability for the region’s rail traffic. The takeover of operations will occur in December 2026. Yet, preparations will begin shortly to ensure a smooth start-up.

Maintenance will be carried out at Mälartåg’s workshops in Eskilstuna, Tillberga, and Stockholm, as well as at Alstom’s own purpose-built facility in Västerås. Alstom will implement its proven maintenance processes, which received top scores in the tender evaluation, where Alstom and VR received the top rating for maintenance and asset management.

Alstom will leverage its Maintenance Performance Centre (MPC), which develops specialised expertise and advanced maintenance competence deployed across the Nordics to serve several fleets, enhancing collaboration and improving maintenance execution.
