With six new stations, the project will improve access for 50,000 residents by 2050. Additionally, the metro will handle 75,000 passengers daily, significantly enhancing transport efficiency.

SYSTRA will work alongside Förvaltning för Utbyggd Tunnelbana (FUT) for the next nine years. The company will oversee the implementation of all necessary systems for the metro expansion.

Lukas Lybeck Sköld, Commercial Director of SYSTRA Sweden, emphasized the project’s importance. He stated that the contract aligns with the company’s strategy and highlights its automation expertise.

Technological Innovations in Stockholm Metro Expansion

The Yellow Line will be Sweden’s first driverless metro, incorporating the highest level of automation. The Grade of Automation 4 (GoA4) technology will ensure efficiency and reliability in operations.

Passenger safety will improve with the installation of platform screen doors across all stations. Additionally, shorter, more frequent trains will reduce waiting times and optimize transport flow.

The contract marks SYSTRA’s first full-scale systems management project in Stockholm. It further solidifies the company’s growing presence in Sweden and across Scandinavia.

The project team will include experts from multiple international locations, ensuring technical excellence. Key personnel will come from Denmark, Paris, and the United States to provide expertise.

SYSTRA will manage crucial aspects such as systems integration and interface coordination. Additionally, responsibilities include preparing technical tenders and conducting risk analysis and mitigation.
