The contract includes the design coordination and technical integration of the light rail systems, the design of the control and maintenance centre, traction power, ground borne noise and vibration modelling.

The line will follow the route of the ring 3 motorway road around the edge of Copenhagen, linking eleven municipalities, from Lundhofte in the north to Ishøj in the south. The new line will run a service of light rail vehicles every five minutes at peak times with a proposed journey time of fifty five minutes for the 27 kilometres.
