According to Vaishnaw, the push-pull technology includes two motors: one in the front and one in the rear.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that the first Amrit Bharat train, featuring innovative push-pull technology, will soon be launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ayodhya. During the inspection of rolling stock and locomotives at New Delhi railway station, Vaishnaw highlighted the safety benefits and passenger-centric features incorporated in the new trains.
What is push-pull technology? According to Vaishnaw, the push-pull technology includes two motors: one in the front and one in the rear. While the front engine pulls the train, the rear engine simultaneously pushes the train, improving acceleration and deceleration. This design, he explains, saves a lot of time on bridges, curves and other speed limits, making journeys more efficient.
Features of Amrit Bharat train
Amrit Bharat Express comes in a saffron gray color scheme. Vaishnaw lauded Indian engineers for implementing both distributed power technology and push-pull technology in the Indian Railways. He emphasized the importance of the Amrit Bharat train’s special coupling, called semi-permanent coupling, which eliminates the jerky impact felt by passengers during departures and stops. The chair is purple with comfortable padding. The train is equipped with mobile racks and sliding base windows that will bring a modern feel to passengers. A passenger information system is also available on board to display detailed information about station access. Amrit Bharat Express trains will have 22 coaches, including sleeper and regular coaches. This is a full service, without air conditioning, specifically designed to save costs. The minister emphasized the ship’s non-air-conditioned configuration, noting that at speeds above 100, the ship will face atmospheric pressure. To solve this problem, the space between the vehicles is completely covered, creating a seamless look. Vaishnaw also highlighted design features to save water in the lavatories and modifications to improve train driver comfort, including air-conditioned cabins and reduced vibration.
Other amenities
Passenger comfort is a key consideration, with amenities such as charging points at each seat, padded seats on regular coaches and specially designed ramps for wheelchairs. Vaishnaw revealed that a trial was successful, exceeding expectations, and after the prime minister’s signal, a joint trial will be conducted in a few months to resolve all technical issues. Looking ahead, the Minister expressed his intention to produce 20 to 30 trains of this type per month following improvements based on testing. Subsequent launches will include configurations from General Class to AC-II.
Trip
Amrit Bharat will start from Ayodhya to Darbhanga (Bihar) on December 30. The Prime Minister will reach Ayodhya and depart this train from where he is also expected to depart six other Vande Bharat Express trains . The second train will run from Malda to Bangalore. This train is expected to replace Antyodaya Express, Jan Sadharan Express.
Amrit Bharat Express offers an economical and extensive travel option for long distances. This is specifically designed to save costs and is aimed at journeys longer than 800km or requiring more than 10 hours with existing services. They connect major Indian cities, providing efficient transportation solutions over long distances.
