NIB finances commuter trains for Sweden
Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) has signed a SEK210 million ($22.8 million) 30-year loan for Transitio AB to part fund acquisition of 12 new passenger trains for the Malardalen area in Sweden.
The trains, which were ordered by Malardalstrafik Malab AB, will be leased to Stockholm, Uppsala, Vastmanland and Ostergotland, and will be comprised of 333 seats each. The new trains will increase passenger capacity, something which will be welcomed by the growing number of commuters in the region.
Transitio will coordinate the procurement and fleet-management of the rolling stock. This new rolling stock will be delivered during 2021-22.
