BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2013/2014

  • Nobina Sweden won a tender for traffic in Malmö city, covering approximately 100 routed buses. The agreement is for three years, with the option for three additional years, and is expected to be worth around SEK 2.5 billion over the term of the agreement.
  • Nobina Finland won a tender for 31 buses in Helsinki, making Nobina the largest operator in Helsinki.
  • Nobina Sweden decided not to participate in the Dalarna tender, as the unbalanced contract terms would have involved very high risks.
  • Nobina Denmark was chosen as one of four nominees to be awarded the “Best place to work” for the Randers site by the Danish union 3F.
  • The whistleblower function, with the employee representative counsel MOM (medarbetarombudet), has now been operating for six successful months in Nobina Sweden and Swebus.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE QUARTER OF 2013/2014

  • Nobina Sweden won tenders for traffic contracts for Västtrafik, comprising around 250 buses and traffic for a period of eight years, with the option for additional two years. The estimated total value is close to SEK 4 billion over the contract period.
  • Nobina Sweden had a solid start of city traffic in Helsingborg. This is an important contract to Nobina, not least as it is incentive based to between 30-40 percent of the total contract value.  
  • Swebus has decided to discontinue its traffic with direct buses between Stockholm City and Arlanda airport, due to commercial reasons.

"The first quarter marks milestone contract wins in Sweden and Finland, as well as general operational improvements in Norway.”
