AB Transitio’s mission

Our mission

We procure and manage the rail vehicles that our owners need for their operations, and we also act as a knowledge partner and resource within the railways area. The mass of knowledge and experience within AB Transitio provides support and quality assurance for our owners.

AB Transitio's main business is procuring, financing and managing rail vehicles for our owners. The stability we provide is essential for ensuring Sweden's regional transport both now and for years to come.

AB Transitio’s mission

Procurement of
rail vehicles

One of AB Transitio’s most important tasks is procuring the rail vehicles that our owners need for their regional transport operations. This takes place through the usual procurement processes which require substantial competence, not least for preparing the technical specifications and evaluating different tenders.
Examples of such acquisitions include the procurement of some 60 Regina multiple-unit trains from Bombardier (X50-54) in 1999, 2002 and 2008.

AB Transitio’s mission

Financing of
rail vehicles

Rail vehicles are acquired on behalf of our owners and thereafter leased out to them. The owners who place orders for rail vehicles through AB Transitio are required to provide a standard guarantee for AB Transitio's undertaking. This is done by the owner in question issuing a legally binding guarantee commitment. If appropriate, the owners may also arrange the financing themselves.

Management of
rail vehicles

An essential part of our obligation to lessees is the management of the rail vehicles. The purpose of this is to ensure the value of our rolling stock and improve its functionality and performance over the technical estimated useful life, 25-30 years.

AB Transitio has a dedicated rolling stock manager per vehicle type. See contacts

Those who lease our rolling stock are responsible for ensuring and following up the quality of the light preventive maintenance and the corrective maintenance, per the applicable maintenance programme and documentation, as well as the provision of all necessary parts for these activities. This is conducted via agreements between the lessee and the contracted transport operator or maintenance services provider.
