Green Cargo awards Euromaint a renewed five-years maintenance contract
Green Cargo has awarded Euromaint a renewed five-year maintenance contract to manage, in partnership, the Rc/Rd locos, which are the majority of the locos in the largest fleet of locomotives in Sweden owned by Green Cargo, as well as the strategic components. The network of Green Cargo covers the entire country from north to south in Sweden. This is an operative approach can be further optimised by the corresponding service centres network of Euromaint, in cities as Luleå, Vännäs, Sundsvall, Borlänge, Hallsberg, Örebro, Gothenburg and Malmö.
- We are very pleased to continue and deepen our partnership with Euromaint through the renewal of this important contract. It gives Green Cargo better settings to deliver high-quality freight services and at the same time find innovative ways to optimise our resources for increased profitability, said Henrik Dahlin, CEO at Green Cargo.
The partnership means that Green Cargo gets continued access to Euromaint's broad and long-standing expertise in maintenance of rail vehicles. It creates the right conditions to provide high reliability and availability in the logistics solutions Green Cargo offers its customers. This is achieved, among other things, through access to extensive coverage of Euromaint depots from north to south, which is crucial for traffic-related maintenance where Green Cargo operates freight trains. This will be another important piece of the puzzle in the sustainable and climate-smart transport system in Sweden of the future.
– We at Euromaint are proud to have received this renewed trust from Green Cargo. This confirms our broad and long-standing expertise in maintenance and the knowledge about the fleet of cargo locomotives of Green Cargo that we have built over many years as their partner for maintenance. We look forward to continuing to be Green Cargo's long-term partner on our joint journey to a more sustainable future, said Gorka Tamayo, CEO at Euromaint.
