Erik Røhne, chairman of the Norwegian railway company NSBGjøvikbanen, and Jürg Gygax, executive vice president of the Swiss locomotive vehicle manufacturer, recently signed 10 FLIRT train maintenance contracts for a period of three years.
For Stadler, this is the first maintenance contract for the FLIRT fleet in Norway. The existing maintenance facility “Lodalen” in Oslo will be adapted for maintenance on the FLIRT Gjøvikbanen fleet.
Starting 1st January 2018, Stadler will perform first line maintenance for ten FLIRT of NSB Gjøvikbanen. NSB Gjøvikbanen is a daughter company of the state owned operator NSB (Norges Statsbaner). In 2008 NSB had purchased the first 50 FLIRT at Stadler and will expand their fleet to 125 trains until 2020, which makes the NSB fleet one of the biggest FLIRT fleets of Stadler. These trains are specially designed to cope with Norwegian winter conditions with temperatures as low as -40° Celsius.
Stadler is able to win ten FLIRT maintenance contracts operated by NSBGjøvikbanen through the public procurement process and will be maintained by the end of 2020 and can extend the maintenance period.
