Overview of the Valmet Sm2

Explore the Sm2 electric multiple units, a reliable series in service since 1975 for the Finnish State Railways (VR Group).

These trains are known for their capacity of 200 seats and a top speed of 120 km/h, making them ideal for regional traffic.

With a length of 53.25 meters and a power output of 620 kW, the Sm2 units are a proven solution for rail transport in Finland, built by Valmet and Strömberg.

The 1524 mm gauge and the characteristic Bo'Bo'+2'2' axle formula highlight their specific design for the Finnish railway network.

A comprehensive refurbishment in 2002 further enhanced the performance and comfort of these robust trains.
