Bengaluru: First Vande Bharat prototype sleeper train unveiled in India, see details
India has welcomed the first prototype of the Vande Bharat sleeper coach! At BEML’s Bengaluru headquarters, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw presented the model.
According to details shared by PTI, the newly introduced coach will be tested for about 10 days. After this, it will be taken on the track for further testing. After getting satisfactory results, the train is expected to be operational for the general public in the next three months.
The report states that the Vande Bharat sleeper is much better than the Rajdhani Express and other models. It will allow passengers to travel long distances in complete comfort.
The sleeper variant will have a better average speed than the Rajdhani Express, all due to faster acceleration and deceleration. Once operational, the train is likely to run at an average speed of 160 kmph, while the test speed will be 180 kmph.
