Vossloh awarded major contract in Sweden
Written by jrood
Vossloh has concluded with Trafikverket, the Swedish infrastructure authority, a framework agreement for supplying a new type of in-sleeper actuation system for switches and crossings over a period of 10 years, including an option for five more years. The total contract value is above €100 million (about $128 million). Fully integrated into the sleeper, the system chosen by Trafikverket is a customized version of the Easyswitch actuation system previously developed by Vossloh Cogifer.
"This new product meets
the specific requirements of the Swedish railways and again underscores our
vast engineering competence," said Werner Andree, CEO, Vossloh AG.
Since April 1, 2010,
Trafikverket has been Sweden’s central agency for rail, road, water, and air
traffic. With almost 12,000 km (about 7,400 mile) of railway lines comprising 11,000
turnouts, Trafikverket is the largest North-European infrastructure manager.
