Aerowash enters the rail industry through a significant agreement with SNCF, leveraging its dry wash technology to develop a new eco-friendly train washing system.
Aerowash AB, a leader in the aviation washing industry, has taken a significant leap forward by entering into a strategic agreement with the French railway operator SNCF. This partnership is set to revolutionize the train washing sector by introducing a new eco-friendly mobile system based on Aerowash's innovative dry wash concept.
The agreement, structured as a framework contract, has an initial term of five years with an option for a two-year extension. In the first phase, SNCF will fund the development of a prototype with an investment of approximately 5.5 million SEK, contingent on achieving project milestones. Successful prototype testing is anticipated in France by spring 2026, after which SNCF plans to order multiple units for deployment across its depots.
The initial order value is estimated between 6 to 18 million SEK, with the potential for additional orders up to 10 million SEK for enhanced features and maintenance services. This venture marks a new business vertical for Aerowash, offering substantial international potential and strong synergies with its existing aviation operations.
Niklas Adler, CEO of Aerowash, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, 'This breakthrough with SNCF is a testament to our dry wash concept and technical innovation capabilities. It opens up a highly attractive business vertical with significant growth potential, potentially rivaling our aviation sector offerings.'
The strategic move into the rail industry is supported by Aerowash's management team, which boasts extensive international experience in the railway sector. This positions the company favorably to capitalize on the synergies with its current operations, particularly in product development and organizational efficiency.
Investors should consider the long-term growth prospects that this new venture presents. With the increasing global emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, Aerowash's eco-friendly solution aligns well with market trends. Given the company's strong track record in the aviation sector and its innovative approach, the outlook appears promising.
In light of these developments, investors might want to 'hold' their positions in Aerowash. The potential for growth in the new rail vertical, coupled with the company's existing strengths, suggests a stable and potentially rewarding future.
