After thorough investigations Swedish State Railways (SJ) in 1981 decided to start the process of acquiring a high-speed train. It was also decided that the life cycle cost technique should be used. This paper gives a short introduction to the life cycle cost technique and describes the acquisition of the high-speed train from prestudy, through request for proposals, contracting, design and finally operational verification. Some experience obtained from the supplier's design work and from SJ's initial operation of the system is also outlined, as well as the outcome of the verification. The project has been a success, and both parties—SJ as customer and ABB as supplier—are convinced that the use of life cycle cost methodology has greatly contributed to this.
