X 2000, officially designated X2,[2] is an electric high-speed tilting train operated by SJ in Sweden. It has a top commercial speed of 200 km/h (125 mph) but has achieved a maximum speed of 276 km/h (171 mph) in tests. It primarily serves major routes, including Stockholm–Gothenburg and Stockholm–Malmö–Copenhagen.[3]

The X2 project began in 1969 as a collaboration between Kalmar Verkstad, Swedish State Railways (SJ), and ASEA. In 1986, SJ placed an order for 20 sets of a new type of train. ABB was responsible for manufacturing the electrical components, while Kalmar Verkstad handled the mechanical design and construction. Ultimately, a total of 44 sets were built.[4]

The trains, constructed in Kalmar, Sweden, were launched in 1990 as a first-class only train with a meal included in the ticket price, and free use of the train's fax machine. From 1995 second class was introduced. The fleet has undergone various refurbishments over time, most recently ongoing since 2020.[5]
