EuroMaint, CAF Group’s Nordic rail maintenance subsidiary, has secured new long-term rail maintenance contracts in Sweden and Norway with a combined estimated value of 300 million EUR.
Pågatågen: Long-term passenger fleet maintenance contract in Southern Sweden
Skånetrafiken, the Public Transport Authority for Sweden’s Skåne region, has awarded the operator VR Sverige the contract to operate and maintain Pågatågen regional rail services from December 2027. Under the agreement entered into with VR Sverige, EuroMaint will be responsible for maintaining the X61 regional fleet of 99 units for a term of nine years.
Central to the maintenance scope is a focus on long-term planning, system reliability, and fleet availability, guaranteeing robust operations and enhanced performance as the fleet matures. Most maintenance activities will be carried out at the Raus depot in Helsingborg, further strengthening EuroMaint’s presence in southern Sweden.
Extension of the locomotive maintenance agreement with Green Cargo
In the freight segment, logistics operator Green Cargo has renewed its multi-year contract with EuroMaint to maintain its Class Rc/Rd locomotive fleet, the backbone of one of Sweden's largest freight fleets.
The agreement with the Swedish operator covers both locomotive maintenance services and the supply of key components. Drawing on EuroMaint’s nationwide network of maintenance depots (from Luleå to Malmö) the contract will support increased fleet availability, greater operational flexibility and the optimisation of lifecycle costs; all of which contribute to efficient and environmentally sustainable rail freight transport.
Infrastructure maintenance vehicles in Norway
EuroMaint has further expanded its Norwegian footprint, securing a new contract to maintain rail vehicles used for railway infrastructure works. Bane NOR has awarded the contract for a minimum term of four years. The agreement ensures the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of critical assets essential to sustaining a resilient and secure rail infrastructure.
