During the German occupation of Denmark in 1940-45 streetcars were very important, so it was a serious loss for the city, when the Germans bomped the carbarn in 1944. Only 1 trailer was saved, so Aarhus had no streetcars.

The streetcar company in Copenhagen built 1 new streetcar and a trailer for the company in Aarhus, and the railwayfactory in Randers built 11 others, so in 1947 the streetcars were back in Aarhus like before the worldwar 2.

July the 18th 1945 the first tram ran again at the line and in 1947 the tram traffic was back to normal.

Like other streetcar companies in Denmark, the company in Aarhus had their own coins to use as payments for the tickets.

The last day an electric streetcar was running in Aarhus was Nov. the 6th 1971.
