To ensure maximum reliability and availability for its locomotive fleet in Scandinavia, more precisely in Sweden and Norway, Alpha Trains has entered into long-term full-service agreements with industry players including Alstom and Siemens Mobility in Sweden.
“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,” Kevin Smets, Senior Commercial Manager for the Scandinavian market, said.
Both agreements include preventive and corrective maintenance services, spare parts management, guaranteed availability, and continuous monitoring to reduce downtime and optimise operations.

These service solutions are a key pillar in supporting the growing demand for sustainable and cross-border rail transport throughout the Scandinavian corridor.
The recently signed contract with Alstom Sweden marks a further step in expanding Alpha Trains′ presence in the Scandinavian market.
In March 2025, Alpha Trains and Alstom signed an 8-year full-service agreement for ten Traxx Universal locomotives. The preventive and corrective maintenance will be carried out at at the Motala workshop in Sweden. At the same time, Alstom announced the expansion of Motala site by establishing a dedicated centre of expertise for comprehensive Traxx Universal locomotives maintenance. These locomotives are used in both freight and passenger traffic. They have a modular construction with high reliability and energy efficiency, and are designed to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
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.
In July 2024, Alpha Trains and Siemens Mobility signed a contract for the supply of up to 70 Vectron locomotives including an initial order for 35 locomotives.
