VR launches first green train on the Stockholm-Gothenburg route

VR launches first green train following takeover of MTRX: A new chapter in Swedish rail transport

The launch of the first green-branded train on the Stockholm-Gothenburg route in Sweden is an important milestone for VR. This step follows the takeover of MTRX's long-distance trains in May, which were integrated into the VR brand over the summer. The newly branded trains now have a fresh exterior design.

The acquisition aligns with VR's strategy for profitable growth and experience gains in a competitive market where the travelling experience is critical.

MTRX, now under the VR brand, had been a strong competitor on the Stockholm-Göteborg route since 2015 and was known for its first-class customer service and punctuality. The transition to VR marks a new chapter in the provision of reliable and customer-centric train services in Sweden, a market that offers significant growth opportunities for VR.
