Stadler and the Helsinki’s regional rail operator Junakalusto Oy signed a contract for the overhaul of railway bogies running in the four – car electric Flirt trains, which had been delivered by Stadler to Finland between 2009 and 2014. The contract period with the overhaul of the first bogies is to start in January 2018 and lasts until the revisions of all bogies are executed, but not later until the end of 2022.
The works will be managed by the specialists of Stadler’s bogie revision center of competence located in Szolnok, Hungary.
The agreement covers a total number of up to 78 motor and 117 trailer bogies as well some exchange components. The overhaul of the bogies is due after a mileage of about one million kilometers and will be done in a condition based approach. In this approach Stadler checks the condition and will react together with its broad experience and technical know – how accordingly, to ensure safe and well maintained bogies.
“Bogie overhauls are an important part of the life cycle management of the train, with this contract we will be able to reach the qualitative and financial goals we have set for the overhaul and we are really eager to start this new project with Stadler,” Yrjö Judström, Managing Director of Junakalusto Oy said.
