Model-wise, like a year ago the Toyota bZ4X (+95.6%) is the best-selling car in the country with a fantastic 10.5% share vs. just 1.4% over the Full Year 2025. In fact with 1,348 sales it already reaches 51% of its total 2025 volume. Leader over the Full Year 2025, the Skoda Elroq (+1961.5%) is #2 with a strong 6.3% share. The Tesla Model Y (+63.3%) rounds out the podium ahead of the Audi Q4 e-Tron (+131.3). The event of the month is the 5th place of the Toyota Urban Cruiser BEV with 3.4% share, this is a rebadged Suzuki e Vitara. The Cupra Born (+46.4%), Renault 5 (+944%) and BMW ix1 (+48.2%) also soar below. Note the entire Top 12 is composed of BEVs. Finally, the new Renault 4 is up to #17 and 1.5% share which is higher than at home in France.

Why Copenhagen’s New Automated Trains Will Change Your Travel Experience Forever

Siemens Mobility and Stadler have signed a significant framework agreement with Danish State Railways (DSB) to supply Copenhagen’s S-Bane suburban rail network with a new fleet of fully automated trains. This collaboration, valued at around 3 billion EUR, will see 226 four-car trainsets delivered, with an option for up to 100 additional units. The automated trains will revolutionize urban transport, offering a modern and efficient way to travel across the city’s suburban routes.

The new fleet will be designed for unattended operation at a Grade of Automation 4 (GoA4), meaning they will be fully driverless. The first units are expected to begin passenger service in 2032, with deliveries continuing until 2040. This major upgrade is set to improve the overall travel experience for daily commuters and tourists alike, making Copenhagen’s suburban rail network more accessible, efficient, and sustainable.

Revolutionising Commuting with Driverless Trains

The introduction of driverless trains marks a major milestone in the transformation of Copenhagen’s public transport system. By utilizing the latest technology in automation, the new trains will allow Copenhagen S-Bane to run more frequent services, reducing wait times and increasing capacity. This will directly benefit both local commuters and tourists traveling between Copenhagen’s downtown and its suburban areas.

The automated trains will also be equipped with cutting-edge features that enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency. With real-time monitoring systems, passengers can expect improved on-time performance, while the trains’ self-driving capabilities ensure smoother operation and reduced human error. For those traveling to Copenhagen for tourism, this will create a hassle-free commuting experience, allowing easy access to major attractions like the Tivoli Gardens, Nyhavn, and the Little Mermaid statue, all while reducing travel stress.

Sustainable and Efficient Travel

The new fleet will not only enhance the passenger experience but also promote sustainable travel in the city. Automated trains are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing overall energy consumption compared to traditional models. Additionally, the automated system will help to optimize train schedules and reduce overcrowding, making the entire S-Bane system more sustainable in the long term. Copenhagen has long been a leader in sustainable urban development, and the introduction of automated trains further strengthens the city’s commitment to green transportation.

As Copenhagen continues to grow in both population and tourism, the new automated fleet will help manage the increasing demand for public transportation. The city’s focus on improving public transport infrastructure plays a significant role in making Copenhagen an even more attractive destination for visitors who prioritize eco-friendly and efficient travel options.

Boosting Tourism with Enhanced Connectivity

For tourists visiting Copenhagen, the new automated trains will make getting around the city’s surrounding areas easier than ever. With more frequent, reliable, and comfortable train services, tourists will have greater access to not only the central city but also suburban attractions such as Amager Strandpark, Dragør, and Malmö in Sweden, which is just a short train ride away.

Copenhagen’s suburban network plays an important role in connecting tourists to the broader region, and the automated trains will further enhance the accessibility of attractions that may not be located directly in the city center. This will allow visitors to explore more of the Copenhagen metropolitan area without the stress of navigating busy roads or crowded public transport options. The driverless train network will enable easier connections for tourists looking to discover all the cultural, historical, and natural sights Denmark has to offer.

Moreover, the introduction of automated trains will likely boost tourism by making the city feel even more modern and cutting-edge. Many visitors to Copenhagen are drawn to the city’s innovative approach to sustainability, and the automated S-Bane system will align with their eco-conscious mindset.

A Step Toward the Future of Urban Transportation

Copenhagen’s new automated trains will also serve as a model for other cities around the world looking to modernize their public transportation systems. The collaboration between Siemens, Stadler, and DSB will help set the standard for how automated rail systems can be implemented successfully on a large scale, providing cost-effective, safe, and sustainable solutions to urban mobility challenges.

With driverless trains, Copenhagen is leading the way in smart city initiatives, and this new step in public transport will likely inspire other regions to adopt similar systems. The future of urban mobility is here, and Copenhagen’s S-Bane is at the forefront of this transformation.

Future Prospects for the S-Bane Network

The implementation of automated trains on the S-Bane network is just the beginning. As the system continues to expand and evolve, further upgrades to digital systems and automation technologies will make the network even more efficient and integrated. The long-term vision for Copenhagen’s transportation system includes autonomous vehicles, intelligent traffic management, and seamless multimodal transport, where trains, buses, and even bicycles are all part of an interconnected system.

As the city works towards these ambitious goals, the S-Bane network will be an integral part of Copenhagen’s larger mobility strategy, ensuring that the city remains a leader in urban transport innovation and sustainability.

Conclusion: A New Era for Copenhagen’s Transport and Tourism

The automated trains set to debut on the Copenhagen S-Bane will be a game-changer for both commuters and tourists. With faster, greener, and more reliable services, the trains will enhance travel within the city and its surrounding areas. For visitors, the seamless connectivity will make exploring the city and its suburban gems easier and more enjoyable.

As Copenhagen continues to lead in transportation innovation, the new fleet of driverless trains will become an iconic part of the city’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency, ensuring the city remains a top destination for eco-conscious travelers.
