Transitio AB
AB Transitio is a Swedish rail leasing company owned by Sweden's regional public transport authorities. Its main role is to procure, finance, and manage rail vehicles for use in regional and commuter rail services across Sweden. This model's aim is to enable its owners to avoid the high costs and long delivery times of direct train purchases, and to standardise rolling stock between operators. Most trains are leased from external finance companies, with Transitio as the lessee, though it owns a limited number directly. Vehicles managed by Transitio carry the owner code "ABTR".

The company acts as a partner, supporting its owners throughout the lifecycle of rail vehicles, from procurement and financing to maintenance and fleet renewal. ...
