Stockholm Metro

As part of the Stockholm Metro refurbishment project, Superform supplied a range of sidewall window and doorway pillar panels for the all new Vagn 2000 train.

The panels were specified in SPF aluminium primarily because of the enhanced design freedom offered by the process: coupled with environmental, mechanical and fire performance factors.

Intended to carry up to 414 passengers, the Vagn 2000 is built in three articulated sections with a driver’s cab at each end, and can be operated as a single, double or triple-car unit.

Nearly all materials employed in its construction are either biologically degradable or fully recyclable - in the case of SPF aluminium, for less than 5% of the energy required for the alloy’s original manufacture.
