The contract includes the full maintenance of
71 Coradia Nordic trains Alstom has already supplied to
Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL) and the maintenance of 12 Coradia
Nordic trains scheduled for delivery in 2012 . The deal also
covers the maintenance of 52 older types of commuter trains
manufactured by ASEA.

Optimization of maintenance regime and presence of corrective
technicians in traffic care points will improve fleet
availability and performance. Besides, an Alstom fleet management
team will work in the customer control center using TrainTracer.
The addition of TrainTracer to a trains control system
makes it possible to generate by radio transmission an almost
continuous flow of data on the condition of major components.
Informed in real time or upon request, technicians can analyse
and anticipate eventual problems or diagnose breakdowns. The
increased use of predictive and preventive maintenance
significantly increases the effective availability and
profitability of fleets.

Alstoms maintenance services are supplied by a team of
more than 100 people in three local depots based in Bro,
Sodertalje and Alvsjo. Building on its experience of taking over
existing maintenance services, Alstom will put a special emphasis
on the integration of the current maintenance teams through
training programs and exchanges of best practices.

This order underlines confidence shown in Alstom and the
quality of our work. We are aiming to be a benchmark for the
maintenance industry and to deliver a modern top quality service
to Stockholmståg, declares Lars Kleppe, Director of
Alstom Transport for Nordic Countries and Baltic States.
