"PM Modi to soon flag off Amrit Bharat train with 'Push-Pull' tech", says Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon flag off the newly made Amrit Bharat train which features push-pull technology.
Vaishnaw highlighted the innovative push-pull technology, which he claims significantly
increase the speed of the trains as well as passenger comfort.
«Amrit Bharat train has better acceleration due to push-pull technology. This means that the vehicle accelerates quickly and also stops quickly, thereby saving time wherever there are curves and bridges on the way.
It is equipped with semi-permanent couplers which eliminate the scope of shocks in the train. Charging points are provided near every seat.
Special toilets have also been made for the disabled, with wide doors and special ramps,» he said.
«Total new technology has been used in engines. Like Vande Bharat, an absolute locomotive cab has been installed in Amrit Bharat train also,» he said after inspecting the newly built 'Amrit Bharat' train at the New Delhi Railway station here on Monday.
The Railway Minister also mentioned that a lot of changes have been made in the design of train toilets in which minimum water usage is promoted.
«Vestibules in train are fully covered because when the vehicle moves at speed the air starts to move inside which has the possibility of impairing the stability of the vehicle. This will keep the car stable and safe.
