RFI - Market assessment for suburban commuter trains

Norske tog AS (“NT”) is a limited liability company established in 2017, as part of the reformation of the Norwegian railway sector. The company is fully owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport. The mandate of NT is to procure, own and manage passenger train vehicles in Norway, and thereby provide access to rolling stock by leasing out vehicles to passenger train traffic operators. The company’s rolling stock shall be offered on competition-neutral terms. NT has, with a few exceptions, the ownership of all passenger vehicles and locomotives in Norway. The company currently owns and manages nearly all Norwegian passenger trains operating on the Norwegian rail network, with a fleet currently amounting to over 250 trainsets. To ensure that we have up-to-date knowledge of the solutions available in the market, Norske tog is conducting a market survey through this request for information. This provides us with a solid foundation for assessing future needs and adaptations, and helps us to meet possible changes in capacity requirements and ensure flexibility in the train fleet. The Norwegian railway system faces increasing passenger volumes and evolving requirements for comfort, sustainability, and digitalization. At the same time, infrastructure investments and modernization programs create opportunities for improved performance and efficiency. Against this backdrop, Norske tog seeks to understand the market’s capabilities and innovative approaches for delivering local and regional trainsets tailored to Norwegian conditions.
