Trains for tomorrow’s travellers
Gröna Tåget is a comprehensive research and development program aiming to create future high-speed trains for long-distance and regional services. Designed specifically for the Nordic market, Gröna Tåget offers shorter travel times, lower operating costs, and an attractive, comfortable passenger environment.
High-speed and energy-efficient travel
Gröna Tåget will operate at speeds up to 300 km/h, combining the benefits of a fast tilting train on existing tracks with the ability to run on dedicated high-speed lines. One of the key innovations is its energy efficiency, where regenerative braking and aerodynamic design significantly reduce energy consumption. Despite high speeds, the train consumes 25-35% less energy per seat-kilometer compared to current trains like X2000. This makes Gröna Tåget not only fast but also an environmentally responsible choice for future travelers.
Flexible design for capacity and cost-effectiveness
Gröna Tåget will come in two carbody options: a wide-body design suited for the Nordic market, and a continental-style body for broader European compatibility. The wide-body version maximizes passenger capacity and reduces costs by around 25%. Trains can be adjusted in length to match demand, providing flexibility for operators while maintaining high efficiency and profitability. This adaptability also allows for lower fares, further increasing its attractiveness to passengers.
Track-friendliness and enhanced comfort
The train’s track-friendly design minimizes wear on tracks, reducing maintenance costs and enabling high-speed operation even on older infrastructure. Inside, Gröna Tåget offers a high level of comfort, with spacious seating, sound-reducing walls, and designated spaces for work and socializing. The focus on “Design for All” ensures accessibility for all passengers, including the elderly and those with mobility challenges.
Better travel experience with shorter times and lower fares
Gröna Tåget will make train travel more appealing by reducing travel times significantly. For instance, the journey between Stockholm and Gothenburg could be shortened to 2 hours and 20 minutes. The train’s flexible design, coupled with advanced technology, also enables better utilization of trainsets, allowing operators to offer more frequent and direct services, further improving the travel experience.
Environmental benefits and sustainability
Gröna Tåget emphasizes environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption, noise, and CO2 emissions. Its advanced design and technology make it one of the most eco-friendly transportation options available, encouraging more people to choose train travel over cars or planes, thus contributing to a greener future.
By integrating new technologies and smart design, Gröna Tåget positions itself as a revolutionary train concept that can meet the demands of tomorrow’s travelers while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
