Alstom to install new ERTMS in Denmark

Listen to this article

Alstom has been awarded a contract worth €300m to replace the existing signalling system in the east of Denmark.

Alstom will install its Atlas ERTMS signalling solution on 12 intercity and regional lines in the Sealand and Fyn regions.

The new systems will enable Banedanmark to ‘increase the traffic regularity and double the capacity of the network’.

The first line (Roskilde-Køge-Næstved) will be delivered by 2017.

Henri Poupart-Lafarge, President of Alstom Transport, said:

“Alstom has been a key player in establishing European interoperability for nearly 20 years and has the widest experience of ERTMS Level 2 in commercial service. Alstom has also extensive experience as a project integrator and turnkey solution supplier, and is looking forward to sharing it through a long-term partnership with Banedanmark.”
