Ashwini Vaishnaw: The Railway Minister puts his money on Vande Bharat Express 2.0, says will be a game changer

Ashwini Vaishnaw: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that the new Vande Bharat Express train is a game changer for rail development projects in the country. He said this during a journey on the newly launched Vande Bharat Express. According to Ashwini Vaishnaw, PM Modi has announced that 75 Vande Bharat trains will connect all parts of the country. The minister said, "Today, we launched Vande Bharat Express from Amb Andaura, Una to New Delhi as part of this series. This is a world-class train that provides a more enjoyable riding experience. This model has more advancements and improved features, such as reaching a speed of 0 to 100 km/h in 52 seconds and a maximum speed of 180 km/h."

The Minister says the front section of the train can absorb kinetic energy

In response to cattle strikes on railway tracks, the minister stated that “In our country, railway tracks were at ground level. Every day, on average, 80 cattle were hit. It is a source of concern for us. The front section of the train is designed in such a way that whenever a collision occurs, the kinetic energy of the train is absorbed in it. Those who are making incorrect assumptions should understand that it is part of the engineering design."
