Vossloh Secures EUR 70 Million Turnout Deal in Sweden

Stockholm, Sweden – Vossloh has signed a framework agreement with Swedish infrastructure manager Trafikverket to supply pre-assembled turnouts under a contract estimated at EUR 70 million. The agreement commences in 2027 and has an initial term of five years, extendable by a further three years. Actual deliveries depend on orders placed by Trafikverket during the contract term.

What Does This Contract Cover?

The framework agreement covers the supply of pre-assembled turnouts for maintenance and modernisation of Sweden’s rail network. Vossloh will manufacture the turnouts at its new Sannahed plant, inaugurated in May, which can produce up to 900 turnouts per year, three times more than the previous facility. Sweden’s national rail plan, adopted in April, allocates approximately EUR 45 billion to rail infrastructure by 2037, with turnout replacement and modernisation among its key components.

Key Contract Data

How Does This Compare to Similar Contracts?

Vossloh’s EUR 70 million framework agreement is smaller in announced value than Stadler’s approximately EUR 263 million FLIRT electric train contract for Greater Poland signed in March 2026 (Source: Stadler, 2026). At EUR 70 million, the Vossloh deal represents roughly 0.16% of Sweden’s EUR 45 billion national rail infrastructure envelope by 2037 (Source: RailwayPro, 2025). Specific turnout quantities, unit prices, and annual order volumes were not disclosed. Comparable data for turnout framework agreements in Scandinavia was not publicly available at time of publication.

Editor’s Analysis

The framework agreement signals that Trafikverket is locking in local production capacity for turnout replacement as a prerequisite for network modernisation. Vossloh’s Sannahed investment triples local capacity to 900 turnouts per year, which may reduce lead times and import exposure for Swedish renewals. This aligns with a broader European pattern where about 90% of the 2025 control, command and signalling market is linked to modernisation and maintenance of existing networks, according to SCI Verkehr (Source: SCI Verkehr, 2025).
