Energy saving of about 30% due to re-generative braking
• Use of 3 phase AC traction motor having 20% higher horse power
• Higher speed potential of 100 Km/h as against existing 80 Km/h
• Reduction in journey time of about 4 to 5 minutes in a typical Churchgate-Borivali or
CSTM-Thane section
• Higher acceleration of 0.54 m/s2 as against existing 0.38 m/s2
• Smoother acceleration due to variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) control
• Carbon dioxide level in the coach restricted to international standard of 700 ppm
difference between outside and the coach through use of external air blowers
• Use of air springs for better riding quality and maintaining level of the coach under
varying loading conditions
• Improving lighting at 300 lux
• Computerized passenger information system with LED display
• Station announcement on running trains using Global Positioning System technology
