AI-summarized · Neutrality-checked

ComfortDelGro (CDG) and its joint venture partner RATP Dev, operating as KBH Metro Partner, won a 17 billion Danish kroner (S$3.4 billion) contract to operate and maintain the Copenhagen Metro. The 12-year contract follows a competitive international tender and requires the consortium to oversee the 43km, 24-hour driverless rail system until 2039. This agreement marks CDG's second rail operation in Scandinavia and expands the company's total rail network under operation or mobilization to over 420km. The consortium is tasked with both daily operations and supporting planned modernization and renewal projects for the four-line network.

Consequences

The contract solidifies CDG's position in the European transit market and enables the company to utilize its Singapore-based rail expertise on an international scale. Over the next 12 years, the partnership will integrate CDG’s operational model into the Copenhagen system, with the potential for a three-year extension following the initial term.
