Talgo has signed a $756 million contract to produce a new railway fleet in Sweden
With this contract, Talgo's order book has reached EUR 6.5 billion, the highest in its history.
The Talgo train company has reached a contract with the Swedish National Transport Administration, Trafverket, for the production and maintenance of a new fleet of Talgo 230 day and night trains worth about EUR 756 million.
The company informed the National Securities and Exchange Commission (CNMV) on Monday that it has signed a contract for the production and maintenance of 10 locomotives, 9 compositions per day and 11 compositions per night for 10 years.
The Swedish administration will be able to extend this contract and request 9 more locomotives, 7 compositions per day and 11 more compositions per night.
With this contract, Talgo's order book has reached a record 6.5 billion euros.
The signed request is for modulable trains. These trains will have a maximum speed of 200 km/h on commercial journeys, Suedia and Norway, and will have full interoperability so that cross-border operations can be carried out without interruption, so that they can be extended to other Central European countries in the future.
Talgo has stated that the award of this contract confirms the strong technological and operational capabilities of the Talgo 230 platform and demonstrates flexibility in adapting to the needs of the major European railway companies.
