Since their introduction, the locally built semi-high-speed trains known as the Vande Bharat Expresses have received praise for their cutting-edge facilities, safety features, and smooth ride. The nation’s flagship trains, which are viewed as a representation of India’s technological advancement, are about to be reintroduced with modern amenities. There are 25 cutting-edge safety features in the new VB Expresses being made at Chennai’s Integral Coach Factory (ICF).

After visiting the ICF, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, “I am happy to see the improvements being carried out at the Vande Bharat Express and I have inspected about 25 safety and technical improvement features that have been implemented in the next Vande Bharat Express that is under production.”

The updated Vande Bharat trains have new features like:

• the angle of the seat dropping increasing
• better seat cushions

Saffron, “inspired by the Indian Tricolour,” will be the new colour of the 28th rake of the indigenous train, which is now being produced at ICF.

“This is a Make In India concept, meaning it was created by Indian engineers and experts. Therefore, throughout the operation of Vande Bharat, any feedback we receive from the field units regarding air conditioners, restrooms, etc. would be used to adjust the design, Minister Vaishnaw remarked at a press conference.

Other safety measures included in the latest Vande Bharat models include a collision avoidance system and a fire suppression system. In addition to other safety features, the trains have CCTV cameras to watch the inside and outside of the vehicle.
