Copenhagen on track for full automation as Siemens and Stadler seal €3bn deal for driverless S-trains

Copenhagen's S-train network is set to be fully automated by 2040. Siemens/Stadler Danish state operator DSB has awarded a Siemens Mobility–Stadler consortium a contract worth about €3.08bn (DKK 23bn) to supply at least 226 new driverless electric S-train sets for Copenhagen. A massive shakeup for the Danish capital, the deal is designed to move the entire S-train network to full automation by around 2040, with the first trains expected to enter passenger service from 2032.
