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".
History and operations
Transitio was established in 1999 as a response to the reorganisation of Sweden’s railway sector, which shifted responsibility for regional rail services from the state operator, SJ, to subsidised regional authorities. The company acts as a partner, supporting its owners throughout the lifecycle of rail vehicles, from procurement and financing to maintenance and fleet renewal. Transitio negotiates framework agreements with manufacturers with bulk purchases and standardisation of requirements, aiming to lower purchase costs and simplify maintenance. Transitio’s financing often involves complex leasing arrangements, sometimes using international finance structures.Fleet
