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 EUR 300 million. These contracts cement EuroMaint’s leading position as a key partner for passenger, freight and infrastructure rail operators across the Nordic countries, while reinforcing its position as a benchmark provider of mobility services and reliable and sustainable transport solutions.
Spanning regional passenger services, freight locomotives and infrastructure maintenance vehicles, these contracts highlight EuroMaint’s extensive technical expertise, strong engineering and digital capabilities, and the vast local workshop network that will deliver the work. These agreements underscore EuroMaint’s capacity to manage the full asset lifecycle, maximising fleet availability, boosting performance, and increasing long-term value.
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 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, the Norwegian national railway infrastructure manager, 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.
A strategic milestone for EuroMaint and CAF
CAF has carried out numerous projects in the strategically important and growing Scandinavian market, including the supply of units for the high-speed line linking Oslo city centre with its airport, the Helsinki metro, and tram fleets for cities such as Stockholm, Oslo and Lund. This is in addition to the contracts currently under execution for the supply of new regional train fleets for Swedish operators Transitio AB and SJ AB, as well as the recent award for the upgrade of the Helsinki Metro signalling network using CBTC technology.
In addition, EuroMaint is a leader in the railway services sector. With a workforce of more than 1,000 people, it operates maintenance contracts for some of the region's main train fleets and supplies railway components to multiple operators.
With these new contracts, EuroMaint continues to expand its Nordic service backlog, positioning itself as a key driver of the region's shift toward smart and sustainable mobility. This transformation is one in which CAF has played an active role, underpinned by the successful delivery of numerous projects across the region in recent years.
