Contract with arriva – new operator on the Swedish market The train operator Skånetrafiken has put the Pågatågen commuter train service out to tender. EuroMaint Rail has been commissioned to carry out both component maintenance and light maintenance on Pågatågen commuter trains, which will be operated by arriva Tåg aB from June 2007. a nine-year contract has been signed which currently encompasses 26 trains. Skånetrafiken has put the Pågatågen commuter service out to tender. EuroMaint Rail chose to submit maintenance bids to the operators taking part in the tender, both Swedish and international. The bids we submitted were based on the same foundation, but varied quite extensively as the content of the requests for tender were very different. This in turn was because Skånetrafiken had made an open request leaving it up to the operator to decide how the arrangement should be structured. International operator In early 2006 Skånetrafiken chose Arriva as the operator for Pågatågen commuter trains. British company Arriva is one of Europe’s largest private companies in passenger services and has approximately 30,000 employees, 2,500 of them in rail traffic. The company has operations in eight European countries and has previously only run bus services in Sweden. The company Arriva Tåg AB was created in connection with winning the tender. Good collaboration Arriva chose EuroMaint Rail as the supplier for all maintenance, which is of course an honour for us. We have negotiated a maintenance contract in excellent collaboration. Arriva has decided not to procure component overhauls separately, instead all maintenance work will be covered by a single availability contract. The original request was for a three-year contract for the existing X11 trains, after which they were due to be phased out. During contract negotiation the parties agreed to extend the term to nine years, i.e. until mid-2016, so as to encompass the phasing-out of older trains and the phasing-in of new ones. Increasing scope The contract is a total undertaking for both component maintenance and light maintenance. It initially covers the 26 model X11 trains and it may also include new rolling stock during the term of the contract. The trains currently travel between four and five million kilometres a year and all forecasts indicate that volume will increase over the next decade. In December 2006 Skånetrafiken ordered 4 new model X60 Pågatågen commuter trains from Alstom. They will begin being delivered in autumn 200 . Maintenance for this new rolling stock will be the subject of a separate procurement on Skånetrafiken’s part. If we also win maintenance bids for the new trains, the existing trains will be phased out and the new ones phased in within the framework of the maintenance contract a far-reaching process of which we have sound experience. New rolling stock does call for new work methods, but the switch is facilitated by our experience of the chosen model. For a long period of the contract, expertise and maintenance processes will be required for both types of vehicle. Ensuring a smooth transition period places high demands both on our employees and on good collaboration with the operator. 15
