Vande Bharat Sleeper: The first look of Vande Bharat Sleeper train is out. The interior is so amazing that you will be mesmerized. This train has been prepared by the Integral Coach Factory of Chennai.
Many people must have travelled in Vande Bharat train. If not, then you must have seen it. But now get ready to travel in Vande Bharat sleeper train. Chennai’s Integral Coach Factory has prepared it with a very good interior, the first look of which is out. It has a better security system than other trains, best class design. The door will open on touching it, and you will get water in the toilet without pressing any button. Its speciality is such that it will give you comfort in long journeys.
Integral Coach Factory (ICF) General Manager U. Subba Rao explained its special features. He also said that by January next year it will be put on the track and people will be able to travel in it. This train with 16 coaches will be fully AC. 820 passengers will be able to travel in it at a time. Its speed can reach up to 160 kilometers per hour. That means its speed will be much higher than Rajdhani.
The speed will be 180 km
Subba Rao said that the cost of making one train is Rs 120 crore. The train will be tested for two months at a speed of 90 km per hour to 180 km per hour. Its security features will also be checked. An emergency brake system has been installed in it. Its control has been kept in a very scientific way. All these things will be tested. We are going to complete the testing work by November 15. This testing will be done in Lucknow RDSO and Western Railway. We hope that by January 15, its public use will be approved.
What new facilities have been added?
Vande Bharat Sleeper Train will have many new facilities. Such as sensor activated interconnecting doors have been installed. Touch-free bio-vacuum toilets and talk-back units have been installed. First class coupes will have stairs and flight-style attendant buttons for easy access to the upper berths. Anti-collision system ‘Kavach’ and anti-climbing technology have also been installed to protect the train from accidents. It does not allow the coaches to climb over each other in case of an accident. This reduces the risk significantly.
A 20 coach train will also come.
Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) and ICF are working on its finishing. After this, 9 more Vande Bharat sleeper trains will be made. ICF plans to make 50 additional Vande Bharat sleeper trains in the next 24 months. Subba Rao also said that ICF is developing a new train for parcel delivery, which will be ready by April. The first hydrogen-powered coach will also be developed in four months. In the next 12 to 18 months, we will bring 21 new chair car Vande Bharat trains with 20 coaches.
