Like Copenhagen and Aarhus also the capital of Funen should have a streetcar line.

A Swedish company - Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget, ASEA - had successfully built several electric streetcar lines in Sweden and the company wanted to enter the Danish market.

Odense could give ASEA the possibility.

In 1911 the company had built a streetcar line in Odense, which should be the only city in Denmark, where the company built a streetcar line. There were some plans of building a line in Aalborg (Jutland) too, but they never came into existence.
