Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season and a happy New Year! 🎄 This Christmas, we have made donations to Children of the Station in Finland, Unisef in aid of children in Ukraine, and Suicide Zero in Sweden.

As a Finnish wagon manufacturer, we are honoured to be part of a project that will strengthen Nordic cooperation and protects security of supply. We design and start series production of new heavy transport wagons suitable for northern conditions for transporting NATO equipment.   Thank you for your trust and for a very good start to an interesting joint project Bane NOR, the Norwegian Defence Materiel Administration and the Swedish Defence Forces.   The wagons are manufactured at VR FleetCare's Pieksämäki Workshop, where we manufacture all EU-standard wagons and are actively developing new models for the growing transport needs of various industries.   #onthesametrack #transportation #NATO #Pieksämäki

🛠️ What is mobile maintenance and how does it enhance travel comfort? Sometimes, minor maintenance tasks need to be performed on trains before they head to the depot. In such cases, mobile maintenance enters the frame. When their services are required, mobile maintenance mechanics pack everything necessary into a car, head to the rail yard, and fix the equipment. Issues that mobile maintenance addresses can include repairing broken seats, solving heating problems, or replacing lamps. The aim is to utilize the trains' downtime at the rail yards and ensure a comfortable journey for all train passengers 🛤️💺 #onthesametrack
