Export of Vande Bharat trains, South America calling!
Export of Vande Bharat trains, South America calling! Two recent news concerning Indian Railways (IR) and Vande Bharat trains caught my attention. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/vande-bharat-express-indian-railways-trains-to-be-manufactured-in-standard-gauge-for-exports-says-ashwini-vaishnaw/articleshow/108494143.cms?utm_source=wa_channel&utm_medium=notification The central message of this announcement underscores the global prevalence of the Standard Gauge (SG) in modern rail systems, prompting Integral Coach Factory (ICF) to embark on the development of an SG version. Emphasizing the imperative for timely action, the announcement delineated that planning for potential exports five years down the line necessitates immediate commencement of design work. This is essential due to the extensive duration required for manufacturing, testing, and obtaining international validation. https://www.financialexpress.com/business/railways-fe-exclusive
