Under its Delta 2.0 project Sweden's SJ AB begin procuring Zefiro Express high-speed trains from Bombardier Transportation, later Alstom, during the 2020s.
The SJ 250 electric multiple unit train fleet is planned to have fixed formations measuring up to 179 metres (587 ft), operating up to 250 km/h (160 mph) and be capable of working across Sweden, Denmark and Norway down to temperatures of −40 °C (−40 °F).
SJ's aim is for these trains to replace the need for air travel between capital cities within Scandinavian. Delivery of the fleet is expected during 2026‒2028.
