With the service life of some of its units due to end soon, SJ is executing a plan to modernise its fleet. It is also looking to expand the capacity of its trains to meet the increased demand.

In 2019, CAF acquired the Swedish company EuroMain, which carries out work in the train maintenance sector.

EuroMaint has two service contracts with SJ AB.

The contracts include 12-year maintenance of the train fleet operating on the Krösatågen and Kustpilen lines and upgrading 57 cars in the Swedish operator’s overnight passenger car fleet. 

In 2021, CAF also received a contract in Sweden to build 20 Electric Multipe Units (EMUs) and eight Biodiesel-Electric Bimodal Units (BMUs) for AB Transitio.

Last month, CAF received a contract valued at over €250m from Etihad Rail to supply push-pull passenger trains.
