Alpha Trains expands full-service locomotive solutions in Scandinavia
Antwerp, Stockholm, 5 May 2025
To ensure maximum reliability and availability for its locomotive fleet in Sweden and Norway, Alpha Trains has entered into long-term full-service agreements with industry players including Alstom Sweden and Siemens Mobility in Sweden. The recently signed contract with Alstom Sweden marks a further step in expanding Alpha Trains′ presence in the Scandinavian market.
The agreements enable Alpha Trains’ goal to provide tailored and efficient leasing solutions across Northern Europe and ensure the continued performance and reliability of its Traxx and Vectron locomotives. Both agreements include preventive and corrective maintenance services, spare parts management, a guaranteed availability, and a continuous monitoring to reduce downtime and optimise operations.
Alpha Trains′ full-service approach allows railway operators to focus on their core business while benefiting from a modern and reliable fleet. These service solutions are a key pillar in supporting the growing demand for sustainable and cross-border rail transport throughout the Scandinavian corridor.
Kevin Smets, Senior Commercial Manager for the Scandinavian market, said: "Customer satisfaction is at the core of Alpha Trains′ philosophy. Our partners’ product knowledge, the wide service network as well as the quality of maintenance have prompted us to reach these agreements. This enables us to offer an exceptionally reliable and flexible fleet of locomotives throughout Northern Europe.”
