Train & Rail 2025 – an international breakthrough for the railway industry

This year’s edition of Train & Rail, organised by Swedtrain and Stockholmsmässan and held at Stockholmsmässan from 6–8 May, confirmed the growing strength and innovative momentum of the railway sector. With a 15 percent increase in exhibitors and a 10 percent rise in visitors compared to 2023, the event further consolidated its position as the leading Nordic meeting place for the rail and transport industry.

The exhibitor list featured both large and small industry players – from rail operators to members of the Nordic Reference Group for Track-Bound Maintenance Machines, including companies such as Alstom, Hitachi, Vossloh, VR FleetCare, Infanord, and Infrakraft.

A key highlight was the unveiling of a hydrogen-powered locomotive, presented by Pesa, Hankavik, and Väte Rail, at Årsta Kombiterminal during the exhibition. The launch attracted significant attention from both the media and industry representatives.

“The attention surrounding the hydrogen locomotive exceeded all our expectations. It’s clear the industry is ready for future technologies,” said Monika Johannesen Widholm, Project Manager for Train & Rail.

Train & Rail 2025welcomed visitors from 27 countries (up from 25 in 2023) and exhibitors from 17 countries (compared to 12 in 2023), clearly demonstrating its international reach.

The seminar programme also attracted strong interest, both on-site and online. More than 3,200 participants attended the 69 sessions held over the course of the three days. All sessions were summarised in real time and are now available here:

The collaboration with Voxo, which provided the AI-powered summarisation technology for the seminar stages, was met with great enthusiasm.

“We’re proud to help spread knowledge and make important industry discussions accessible beyond Train & Rail. The response from participants shows our technology represents the future of content engagement, and we look forward to building on this success next time,” said Johan Wadenholt Vrethem, CEO of Voxo.

Preparations for the next edition, Train & Rail 2027, are already underway – with a continued focus on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable transformation within the railway and transport sectors.
