- Ministry of Railways has decided to adopt Head on Generation (HOG) technology in all LHB Coaches trains within this year.
- Till date 342 trains have already been converted into HOG.
- The new technology HOG will be available at ₹6 per unit as compared to the End-on-Generation (EOG) system, in which cost of power is ₹22 per unit.
How it works?
- In HOG Technology, the power will be drawn from the overhead electric supply.
- The power generator cars which used to make huge noise and emit fumes will no more be there.
- In place of two such generator cars there will be
- one standby silent generator car to be used for emergency.
- Other car will have the capability to convert power from the overhead supply to be utilised in the entire train.
