CAF’s Swedish train maintenance company, EuroMaint, has opened a modern 35.000 square-metre maintenance centre in Nässjö.
The new site includes a stabling yard and a depot designed to maintain the new trains that CAF is supplying to Transitio AB for operations in Krösatåg.
This order is part of a 2014 contract valued at over 250 million EUR for the production of 20 4-car EMUs and 8 biodiesel-electric BMUs. The contract also includes options to increase the order by an additional 19 EMUs and 7 BMUs.
To maintain these vehicles, the new depot is equipped with five tracks in the workshop, including a combi hall with automatic wash and de-icing systems.
The workshop has also been designed to facilitate a seamless spare parts supply flow using an automatic paternoster store.
“We are heavily investing in the Nordic market. We are creating the Nordic´s flagship railways maintenance depot here by means of our LeadMind advanced digital platform. This revolution in the Swedish railway will bring higher traffic availability and safer work environment.”
