The Swedish Transport Administration has not received any bids that meet the requirements and therefore chooses to cancel the procurement, reports P4 Västerbotten.

How the requirements look, the Swedish Transport Administration does not go into.

Some of the trains are between 30 and 40 years old and are to be replaced by 2030. A total of ten new locomotives and 91 new sleeping and couchette cars are needed, according to the radio.

The Swedish Transport Administration would have decided on a winner for the procurement after the summer. Now, a new procurement is instead being planned, according to P4.
