Our high-speed trains
Have you noticed that we have slightly different trains compared to our competitors and are you interested in finding out a little bit more? In that case, you've come to the right place!
Our trains come from the Swiss train manufacturer Stadler and are purpose-built for Sweden's climatic conditions with reliable systems that can withstand snow and cold. In addition to the train being run in a Nordic winter climate, they have also been subjected to harsh testing in the "Vienna Climatic Wind Tunnel" and undergone advanced snow and winter tests. Our trains are also more energy efficient than those of our competitors.
Have you noticed that you don't experience as much motion sickness on board our trains? Incredible isn’t it! We don't have a tilting function. This is when the train car tilts in the curves, but as ours are still and do not tilt this often helps those who are prone to motion sickness.
We at VR value quality very highly and therefore have some interior design collaborations on board, including clocks from Breitling and lamps from Bumling. The design classic Bumling was created in 1968 by Swedish designer Anders Pehrson and is one of the most famous Swedish lamp models, which ads that extra little touch on board.
