Our approach

​Swedish State Railways (SJ) is launching a comprehensive modernisation programme for its fleet of 36 X2000 passenger trains, which have been in service for over three decades. This extensive project includes a number of important modernisations designed to improve performance, reliability and passenger comfort. The scope of the modernisation includes a complete overhaul of the trains’ propulsion system to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact. In addition, the Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS) will be upgraded to the latest railway technology to ensure better operational control and safety. The refurbishment also extends to the exterior doors. In addition, the interior of the passenger coaches will be extensively renovated to provide a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing travelling experience. These improvements are aimed at extending the service life of the trains and adapting them to current technical and ecological standards.

PROSE is playing a central role in the realisation of this ambitious project by consulting SJ and its suppliers with a range of services.
