AB Transitio is a Swedish rail leasing company owned by Sweden's regional public transport authorities.[1] Its main role is to procure, finance, and manage rail vehicles for use in regional and commuter rail services across Sweden.[2] 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.[1][2]

Most trains are leased from external finance companies, with Transitio as the lessee, though it owns a limited number directly.[1] Vehicles managed by Transitio carry the owner code "ABTR".[3]

## 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.[2] The company acts as a partner, supporting its owners throughout the lifecycle of rail vehicles, from procurement and financing to maintenance and fleet renewal.[2]

Transitio negotiates framework agreements with manufacturers with bulk purchases and standardisation of requirements, aiming to lower purchase costs and simplify maintenance.[1][2] Transitio’s financing often involves complex leasing arrangements, sometimes using international finance structures.[4]

## Fleet

As of 2025, Transitio manages a fleet of 189 rail vehicles, operating across much of Sweden’s railway network.[5] The main types of trains in the fleet are:
