- India’s first engine-less train, Train 18, which is being regarded as a successor to the 30-year-old Shatabdi Express, is set to hit the tracks for trials on October 29.
- The swanky train is a 100% ‘Make in India’ project, manufactured at the ICF (Integral Coach Factory), Chennai.
- The full AC train is equipped to run at a speed of up to 160 kmph as against Shatabdi’s 130 kmph which will cut down travel time by 15%
- T-18 is not only a self-propelled engine-less train (similar to the Metro trains) but also energy-efficient as its coaches will be fitted with LED lights.
