Short description
The Copenhagen Metro M1+M2 has been in operation for 18 years and is know for high service availability and customer satisfaction. The demand for public transportation in Copenhagen continues to increase while the Metro's rolling stock and infrastructure is aging.
The current fleet of 34 metro trains have a life expectancy of 25 years. The system has now however, reached a point, where it is going from being a new system to becoming a incumbent system, where replacements and renewals have to be done more frequently and the scale and complexity of the activities are increasing.
Metroselskabet is therefore undertaking this mid-life overhaul to ensure the Metro continues to deliver a high service availability and customer satisfaction while increasing capacity at the same time. The scope of this work is to extend the life expectancy of the fleet in order to deliver high service availability going into 2035. Hence investments in life-extention of the fleet is required.
