    From the notice

    • The Customer is experiencing a huge passenger growth. Especially on the single-track line from Grenaa to Aarhus. As the frequency of the traffic cannot be increased due to the single-track infrastructure, the Customer wants to increase the capacity by purchasing longer Trains with the specific characteristics needed for the 100 km/h single track line. The Trains will increase the number of seats on the majority of departures of the Grenaa-line, and by transferring the existing vehicles to other services also support an increase in capacity and frequency in other parts of the Aarhus LRT, the new Trains are expected to have a lifespan corresponding to the maximum term of the Contract incl. extensions. The Customer expects to purchase eight (8) Trains, possible up to 20 Trains (12 Trains as option)
