In a win for clean energy, Indian Railways’ North East Frontier (NFR) zone has started operating two of its trains with Head on Generation (HOG) technology which would power lights, air conditioners, fans and other equipment in passenger coaches, as reported by LiveMint.
The power supply of all electrical equipment will be sourced from electrical locomotives running on electric traction, thereby reducing the use of diesel by a great deal.
The two trains that have started operating HOG technology are Delhi-Dibrugarh Brahmaputra Mail Special and New Delhi-Agartala Rajdhani Special. The technology will power the coaches for return journeys too.
