X2000 is a tilting train that was introduced as a new product by the Swedish State Railways (SJ) on the 450 km line between Stockholm and Gothenburg in 1991. Travelling times have been reduced from 4 to 3 h or 25 per cent by the tilting device and increased top speed up to 200 km/h. Now rail can really compete with air. The rail market share of the rail-air market between the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions increased from 42 to 57 per cent between 1990 and 1996. The success of X2000 can, in addition to the travelling times, also be explained by higher comfort, service and quality as well as by the image of X2000 as a new product.
