Vossloh has won a further contract for the Swedish railway. A comprehensive framework agreement covering the delivery of pre-assembled turnouts has been signed with Trafikverket, the operator of Sweden’s rail infrastructure. The agreement is valid for five years starting in 2027 and can be extended for another three years. Based on the expected order volumes, the contract is valued at approximately 70 million EUR.
Sweden has an ambitious plan for the maintenance and renewal of its rail network. The “National Plan” adopted in April provides for investments of around 45 billion EUR in rail infrastructure through 2037. As a critical component, switches are a particular area of focus. To meet rising demand, Vossloh built a new turnout plant in Sweden, which opened in May. In the production facility in Sannahed, Vossloh uses automation and robot assisted manufacturing, tripling capacity compared to the previous plant to up to 900 turnouts per year.
