VR City Traffic Sweden operates contracted ground passenger transport in Sweden, including trains, buses, and trams, and has been part of the Finnish VR Group since 2022. Its sister company VR Long Distance Traffic Sweden (formerly MTRX) runs intercity rail between Stockholm and Gothenburg. VR Group is state-owned by Finland and has a 160-year history of operating rail, tram, and bus services, making it a major Nordic player in railborne and electrified transport, with operations across Finland and Sweden and about 9,000 employees. In Sweden, VR City Traffic Sweden runs Skånes Pågatåg, Östgötapendeln, and urban buses and trams in the Stockholm region, supported by a fleet of about 400 buses, 122 trains, and 65 trams. The company emphasizes safety and climate-conscious mobility and aims to reduce diesel reliance through electrification as part of VR Group’s broader environmental initiatives, while pursuing growth and market share in the Nordic region through innovative solutions. A recent development in 2026 notes that Solaris signed a contract to supply electric buses to VR Sverige, with Scania also involved in ongoing fleet procurement.
