Siemens to build light rail system for Greater Copenhagen
Siemens to build light rail system for Greater Copenhagen
In a consortium with the general infrastructure contractor Per Aarsleff A/S, Siemens has received an order to build a light rail system in Copenhagen, Denmark, from urban transport development company Greater Copenhagen Light Rail I/S. The contract will be implemented as a turnkey project. Commissioning of the system is planned for 2024.
In a consortium with the general infrastructure contracting company Per Aarsleff A/S, Siemens has been awarded by urban transport development company Greater Copenhagen Light Rail I/S the construction of a light rail system in Greater Copenhagen, Denmark. The contract includes 27 four-car Avenio trams, rail electrification, signaling, communication, workshop equipment, overall project management and system integration. It will be implemented in a turnkey approach. In addition, the contract includes maintenance services for 15 years.
The outstandingly comfortable Avenio single-articulated tram with light rail character redefines trams – and combines the benefits of the single-articulated concept with the proven modular elements of the Avenio family. Modules of about nine meters in length are supported on a centrally positioned pivoting bogie unit.
