Innovation highlights

• Denmark's first modern light rail, fully renewable-electricity powered
• Catenary-free (APS ground-level power supply) in sensitive heritage streetscapes
• Embedded slab track system reducing structure-borne noise and vibration
• BIM-led construction coordination across 14.4 km of city-centre alignment
