The "push-pull" technology will significantly increases the speed of the trains as well as passenger comfort, according to Mr Vaishnaw.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon flag off the newly made Amrit Bharat train which features "push-pull" technology. He highlighted the innovative technology, which he claims significantly increases 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," Mr Vaishnaw said after inspecting the newly built 'Amrit Bharat' train at the New Delhi Railway station here on Monday.
