The preparations for one of Denmark's most exciting programs are starting now, and you will have a crucial role in preparing and facilitating strategic decisions.

The “Future S-network” in Greater Copenhagen Area The train is the future, but the future is not waiting for the train. Therefore, DSB is investing to ensure an environmentally friendly and attractive alternative to cars, buses, and aircraft. The “Future S-network” in the greater Copenhagen area must promote growth and mobility in the metropolitan area and continue to contribute to a climate-friendly urban environment.

Over the coming years, the S-network will be transformed from a traditional urban railway into the largest fully automated driverless transport system in the world.
