@@ManiSudhanshu Sir your pioneering initiative and sheer determination which made Train18 (Vande Bharat) a reality is a great source of inspiration for all the engineers of Indian Railways to keep on trying and implement the seemingly impossible. 🙏🙏
200kmph will be the top design speed. But things will not change till the upgradation of tracks take place..As of now except for Delhi Agra and Kota Nagda Section, the Maximum Permissible Speed as per the current status of tracks is 130kmph. SO No, Aluminium will not translate to faster speed even with faster acceleration unless track infrastructure upgradation is done.

The gent who agreed with my comments and said "True"..Well that was Sudhanshu Mani, the gent from ICF, who concieved designed and built the VB class of train sets, the same gent who was in the vdo..I dont think you listened to Mani's response at the end of the vdo where he says that the VB train sets can improve their speed ONLY when (track) infrastructure is upgraded....So, now you want to send a snapshot of my comment to the Railways, by all means, be my guest..they are already aware of the status of the tracks, and its speed capacity in different zones..😊😊..But you go ahead all the same and do what you want to do and maybe find some proper education along the way.
currently Only mumbai to ahmadabad vande bharat runs with max speed of 160KMPH,Remaining train runs on max 130 KMPH however train is capable of running on max 180KMPH speed. So mainly focus on dedicated high speed track and signaling parallel to Aluminium train set,so that these train can run on max 200 KMPH otherwise it will also run old track with max 130 KMPH. Railway need to focus on both fields.
Only track i know that supports 160 kmph is b/w tughlakabad-agra cantt. Shatabdi, Gatiman, Vande Bharat are running at speed 160 kmph while on this track rest of the time they runs at 130 kmph only.
Thanks for presenting this video, we need Aluminium Vande Bharat immediately as it is lighter than any others, so it can run faster than steel made Vande bharat, love and respect from WestBengal,
The average speed is most important here, we had trains and tracks with Max permissible speed of 120 for ages now. Even if we achieve an average speed of 100, we can cover Mumbai Delhi in 14 hours and Mumbai Kolkata in 20 hours. Let's do that first. But kudos to better coaches that we are gonna build.
GADKARI SHOULD FIRST COMPLETE THE PROJECTS WITH 100 PERCENT SAFETY OF PASSENGERS. ONLY THEN PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE YOUR WORDS. ONLY PROPAGANDA WILL NOT CONVINCE PUBLIC. THE GOVT SHOULD ALSO FIX REASONABLE TRAIN FARE & TOLL TAX COLLECTED FROM HIGHWAYS. THE GOVT SHOULD NOT LOOT PUBLIC OF COUNTRY BY FIXING EXORBITANT TOLL RATES WHICH IS BEYOND CONTROL OF PEOPLE.
Mani Sir, it's Always a pleasure to hear ur baritone voice & clarity of mind over the matter. My humble request to U Sir is, plz appear more on National channels 🙏
Sounds good. But infrastructure improvement should be our first priority. When our tracks are ready to sustain faster trains in 200 kmph category, it will make sense to make huge investment in producing faster trains.
Faster. Body chases may remain as steel, as for Vandhe Bhrarh. The body sides, partitions, roof only may be with Aluminum . With light body, we may start running these with roof mounted Solar panel generators and generators run by self from train movement. Let us move fast. Best wishes..
Every time I see Sri Sudhanshu Mani ji, my heart is filled with joy. I pray to God to give this patriotic, technocrat good health, long life and happiness to continue to serve his country.
I suppose it's Aluminium alloy rather than pure Aluminium itself. Aluminium alloy is stronger than steel and is far lighter. With union govt coming up with BIG (budgetary) allocations to infa upgrade, 200 kmph could soon become a reality, say in about 3 years or less.. Kudos n Thanks to Sri Mani..!!
This train design at the front can be made more aerodynamic by making elongated nose of at least 5 meter. That will reduce drag coefficient. This may increase speed by at least 50 km per hour.
The nose should be aerodynamic, sharper and curvier to reduce drag. The wheels and body of the train should be shifted a bit lower and the lower front needs to be changed. The interior needs luxurious and comfortable seats, good lighting and ventilation, a monitor and other facilities. The back should be overhauled just like the front, then we will truly have a world class train.
Alstom has been bagging tenders for Metro trains & Locomotives. Recently Siemens has bagged a tender for locomotives. Hopefully Škoda should enter India with their locomotives and trains as well⚡️
Škoda is not in good condition, many orders have been delayed due to bad management decisions in the past and now it is slowly changing its strategy. It is possible that there will be no new generation of locomotives produced, but only trainsets, trams and trolleybuses.
We don't need Bullet trains at the moment considering the huge cost factor . But we need an excellent semi high speed network across India Trains with 200-250 KMPH by upgrading the current tracks.
Color - white and blue - should be changed in Indian conditions. White looks shabby always from a closer point, though from drones and long distance, present color combination looks nice
White and blue color schemes are the best as they reflect most of the sunlight falling on the train. This reduces the heat absorbtion capacity of the coaches and reduced energy costs.

It is good news. However, the average speed will not be more than 70Kmph due to lack of dedicated track and many stops. Thus travel time will remain unchanged.
Railways should focus more on upgrading tracks for making it fit till 220. But nowadays railway is much more interested in beautification of railway stations which should be done i am not denying it but the main focus should be track upgradation.

Thanks for your response. Sir Kotdwara is gateway of Garhwal beyond which hundreds of villages located. It takes more than 6 six to reach Kotdwara from Delhi. I have been travelling by Massurie express since my childhood. Can you believe one has to halt for hours at Najibabad and this situation is continuing for last 40 years. Railways has been experimenting since long time to connect Meerut to Bijnor but nothing happened. This is called regional imbalances due to persistent neglect. Even NH 119 is also facing complete neglect as so called highway is full of potholes and huge craters. My suggestion is that all our metro cities are overcrowded and hugely suffering from poor connectivity it should be endeavours that Railway must work to improve connectivity within range of 500 kms in existing routes from all metropolitan cities in the country. So far as facts referred in my earlier comments the sae are based on TOI report today.
It will take 20 years to complete the upgrades of infrastructure and trains. There is a shortage of funds, and the limitations of being a democracy are also limiting things.
Running trains at the speed designed for them is a problem in many countries. Even in dedicated tracks in Europe they only run at speed in certain segments. Indian tracks are constantly being worked on. Even regular day trains in south India are running at 120 kmph now, I would be surprised if Vande Bharat only so 130 kmph now. Aren’t they supposed to be lighter and with traction distributed to each compartment..
❤️❤️❤️❤️Absolutely what is required is one new train dfc like track from Chd-Kota 750kms another Kota-Aurangabad 730kms, Aurangabad-Chitradurga 700kms and Chitradurga- Kochi/ Kottayam 700kms road nd railroad urgently to cover North to West cost of india new aligned Road/Railway🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹meanwhile 4vande bharat shd b put in these alignment to people to travel comfortably as a first instance
❤🇮🇳👌Sudhanshu Maniji, is it in any way to combine t18 with the lhb rake say similar to push pull, ie 2rakes combined into one with either the lhb rake alternating w lhb rakes or both ends fixed either say 21+8coach of t18.. Thr by no interchange is thr for engines, gets more power, or making a t18 both ends with lhb coaches in the middle, of course u require power etc for the normal lhb but thr wd certainly b a way to get to use older lhb along with these and make a longer rake set, reducing costs, more capacity people transported faster Acceleration achieved for the t18, at the same time w higher utilization say 18-20hrs a day for the rake ie 24hrs ie from 12-15hrs a day towards 18hrs min rake utilization in 24hrs... Thr wd b people who can come up nd meet with the required objectives...... It wd ❤speed up the acceleration, ❤turnaround time, ❤ larger capacity, ❤ 18-20hr utilization/24hr / ❤avg speed shd also b above 125kmph ❤Minimum maintaince ❤Or atleast attempt 70rake with wag12 Both shd b done to c if v can do it... Can v rise above our in capabilities of thought, or the restrictions of our mind, N rise beyond the box full thinking v r used to.... Let's say objectives being capacity N speed n 20hr utilization nd integration
From No way... To thrs always a way, wr will, matters 😂❤ Otherwise the possibility to add on sleeper rakes, as n when it gets manufactured, is always thr or particularly a active consideration.. That's y v insisted on 10/12 rakes per mth as also running 1500kms@80-85kmph/a day avg speed in straight lines on east west central grids, Eg chd-panvel,ndls-warrangal or any.... That would cater to abt 1600passengers approx per run min as 24coach trainsets🎉
No benefit till our station and track infra is not changed . Our all trains except ICF trains are capable enough for 160 kmph but still average speed comes out to be 50-75 kmph
Let's not focus on the speeds of the locomotives for now. Have more durable aluminium components and shells on the coaches to reduce the power by weight ratio, making it more economical with good aesthetics, retain steel wherever required as steel is safe & reliable. MAIN POINT TO NOTE: DON'T HOLD UP EXISTING TRAINS TO MAKE WAY FOR THE VANDE BHARATH TRAINS TO PASS THROUGH MAKING IT LOOK FASTER AND THERBY CAUSING INCONVENIENCE TO THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS!!!
Mr sudhanshu sir, 1. what'ss your take on the ambitious bullet train project now? there are few naysayers who criticize that project as expensive one and something a country like India cannot afford and money should be spent on other immediate things..do you think learnings of vande bharat can be applied to expedite buller train and will they be a success? obviously safety is a key issue here.. 2.why did railways introduce vande bharat without upgrading tracks to accomodate high speeds? chennai-mysore VB train runs at just 90km/hr because tracks cannot accomodate higher speed..isnt this classic case of putting cart before the horse?
Much needed latest technical transformation by switching to aluminium coach. It would provide high strength, light weight and modern feel. Please also make the coaches safety fire retardent, huge human casualties, like in the godhra train burning by muslims, could be averted.
He rightly said that we first need to make train perfect by experiencing inside country rather than focusing too much on exploring. Same thing happened with LCA Tejas. We haven't even got Tejas MK1A and we are talking about exporting it to Malaysia, Egypt, Argentina etc.
Hahaha.. Indians always exaggerate. Top speed is 180 but Indians added a 'Bharat premium'. 😅 And trains typically don't even go to their max speeds for safety and durability reasons.
Why do we need Italian and Alsthom assistance? Make in India, Designed in India, Engineered in india, fabricated in India and operated in India. This tender and outsourcing denotes intellectual bankruptcy.

What are the implications of moving from steel to aluminium coaches on passenger safety in case of a crash? Mr. Mani mentioned that even the developed countries already are (or moving towards) using aluminium coaches in place of steel coaches. Is that true for the same speed of around 200 kmph, or is it for much higher speeds (>300 kmph)? If these other countries are indeed still using steel coaches in trains with speeds of upto 200 kmph (for reasons of passenger safety, for example), doesn't India have the ability to manufacture locomotives that can haul steel coaches (same number of coaches per rake as in the aluminium version) at 200 kmph? Is passenger safety being compromised in moving from steel to aluminium coaches for the sake of speed?
Most Indians are only good at criticising than improving. Also some Indians shoot themselves in the foot with too much bureaucracy instead of making essential revisions.

after gaining experience they can try new designs.
Yeah like Russian double decker sleepr trains
Double decker trains for double decker accidents?
Running trains at the speed designed for them is a problem in many countries. Even in dedicated tracks in Europe they only run at speed in certain segments.
Indian tracks are constantly being worked on. Even regular day trains in south India are running at 120 kmph now, I would be surprised if Vande Bharat only so 130 kmph now. Aren’t they supposed to be lighter and with traction distributed to each compartment..
❤️❤️❤️❤️Absolutely what is required is one new train dfc like track from Chd-Kota 750kms another Kota-Aurangabad 730kms, Aurangabad-Chitradurga 700kms and Chitradurga- Kochi/ Kottayam 700kms road nd railroad urgently to cover North to West cost of india new aligned Road/Railway🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹meanwhile 4vande bharat shd b put in these alignment to people to travel comfortably as a first instance
❤🇮🇳👌Sudhanshu Maniji, is it in any way to combine t18 with the lhb rake say similar to push pull, ie 2rakes combined into one with either the lhb rake alternating w lhb rakes or both ends fixed either say 21+8coach of t18.. Thr by no interchange is thr for engines, gets more power, or making a t18 both ends with lhb coaches in the middle, of course u require power etc for the normal lhb but thr wd certainly b a way to get to use older lhb along with these and make a longer rake set, reducing costs, more capacity people transported faster Acceleration achieved for the t18, at the same time w higher utilization say 18-20hrs a day for the rake ie 24hrs ie from 12-15hrs a day towards 18hrs min rake utilization in 24hrs... Thr wd b people who can come up nd meet with the required objectives...... It wd ❤speed up the acceleration, ❤turnaround time,
❤ larger capacity,
❤ 18-20hr utilization/24hr / ❤avg speed shd also b above 125kmph
❤Minimum maintaince
❤Or atleast attempt 70rake with wag12
Both shd b done to c if v can do it... Can v rise above our in capabilities of thought, or the restrictions of our mind, N rise beyond the box full thinking v r used to.... Let's say objectives being capacity N speed n 20hr utilization nd integration
From No way... To thrs always a way, wr will, matters 😂❤
Otherwise the possibility to add on sleeper rakes, as n when it gets manufactured, is always thr or particularly a active consideration.. That's y v insisted on 10/12 rakes per mth as also running 1500kms@80-85kmph/a day avg speed in straight lines on east west central grids, Eg chd-panvel,ndls-warrangal or any.... That would cater to abt 1600passengers approx per run min as 24coach trainsets🎉
No benefit till our station and track infra is not changed . Our all trains except ICF trains are capable enough for 160 kmph but still average speed comes out to be 50-75 kmph
🔥
This idea is now scrapped. Please do a follow up
It’s of no use until they upgrade the tracks to hold them at that speed at first they should install high speed tracks
Let's not focus on the speeds of the locomotives for now. Have more durable aluminium components and shells on the coaches to reduce the power by weight ratio, making it more economical with good aesthetics, retain steel wherever required as steel is safe & reliable. MAIN POINT TO NOTE: DON'T HOLD UP EXISTING TRAINS TO MAKE WAY FOR THE VANDE BHARATH TRAINS TO PASS THROUGH MAKING IT LOOK FASTER AND THERBY CAUSING INCONVENIENCE TO THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS!!!
Kalaburagi to Bangalore need vande Bharat train 🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆
Gulbarga people will make the train dirty
👍👍👍
Mr sudhanshu sir,
1. what'ss your take on the ambitious bullet train project now? there are few naysayers who criticize that project as expensive one and something a country like India cannot afford and money should be spent on other immediate things..do you think learnings of vande bharat can be applied to expedite buller train and will they be a success? obviously safety is a key issue here..
2.why did railways introduce vande bharat without upgrading tracks to accomodate high speeds? chennai-mysore VB train runs at just 90km/hr because tracks cannot accomodate higher speed..isnt this classic case of putting cart before the horse?
Not that bad but yes infrastructural improvement must keep pace with production of trains
@@ManiSudhanshu Thanks sir..
Is it but safe 😮
Aluminium is the largest metal deposit in India I think.
ट्रैक का पता नहीं और ट्रेन का स्पीड 200 kmph क्या मज़ाक़ है ये 😢
पहले ट्रैक सुधरो तभी ट्रेन का स्पीड के बाड़े मेँ सोचना।
You are right brother
Aluminum is lightweight
Ulta khata hai kya tu.
O priyank, teresa zyada padhe likhe log hai, unko Pata hai, bol toh aise raha hai jaise badey gyaani baba hai yeh🤦😅
Yes if u change the video speed to 2x it will
Much needed latest technical transformation by switching to aluminium coach. It would provide high strength, light weight and modern feel. Please also make the coaches safety fire retardent, huge human casualties, like in the godhra train burning by muslims, could be averted.
He rightly said that we first need to make train perfect by experiencing inside country rather than focusing too much on exploring. Same thing happened with LCA Tejas. We haven't even got Tejas MK1A and we are talking about exporting it to Malaysia, Egypt, Argentina etc.
🙏
Hahaha.. Indians always exaggerate. Top speed is 180 but Indians added a 'Bharat premium'. 😅 And trains typically don't even go to their max speeds for safety and durability reasons.
Aluminium is not durable. Aluminium is easy to form and light. Titanium is durable but hard to make parts and work with.
Iron, Steel Train...
Now Alluminium Trains....
After some time we will see plastic Trains !!
😆😆😆
Dumb
Pessimistic on exports.... There are 200+ countries
Why do we need Italian and Alsthom assistance? Make in India, Designed in India, Engineered in india, fabricated in India and operated in India. This tender and outsourcing denotes intellectual bankruptcy.
सगळी कंत्राटे परदेशी कंपन्यांना द्या आणि खच्चून बोंबला मेक इन इंडिया व आत्म निर्भर भारतच्या नावाने.
Ofcourse Alluminium is lighter but it is weaker than iron . What will happen if it collides with cattles
That is taken care of in it's stuctural design..it is as safe

What are the implications of moving from steel to aluminium coaches on passenger safety in case of a crash?
Mr. Mani mentioned that even the developed countries already are (or moving towards) using aluminium coaches in place of steel coaches. Is that true for the same speed of around 200 kmph, or is it for much higher speeds (>300 kmph)? If these other countries are indeed still using steel coaches in trains with speeds of upto 200 kmph (for reasons of passenger safety, for example), doesn't India have the ability to manufacture locomotives that can haul steel coaches (same number of coaches per rake as in the aluminium version) at 200 kmph?
Is passenger safety being compromised in moving from steel to aluminium coaches for the sake of speed?
These newly educated kids usually speak in foreign tone but it looks even worse!
They should remain as Indians
😂
Correct 💯 🤣🤣🤣
Yup, learn the accent before you really want to sound good not imitate a fake accent.
Most Indians are only good at criticising than improving. Also some Indians shoot themselves in the foot with too much bureaucracy instead of making essential revisions.

whether we built aluminium, stainless still or iron train.....if we use bleaching powder in the toilets......no effective result will be there....
All the vande Bharat trains are plying at 110 km/hr. This 200kmpl is a lie..we will never cross 130
what every body forgets is the avg speed of bande bharat is
Mam with all due respect I disagree with your statement cause i personally travelled in train-18 from Hyderabad to Vijayawada the traveling time was cut half . Compared to previous facilities too have been improvised ..
And if you don't know about something don't comment some random bullshit.
Railway coach factories should be privatized.
Yeah those contracts are given to private companies only
@@anandsuralkar2947 Not the contracts alone , Government should exit entire manufacturing sector.
And export the profits instead of making domestic trains cheaper... No, definitely shouldn't be privatized
@@PtrkHrnk Government has no business to be in business, it make no economic sense for the government to be in business.
@@rajeshbobba3851 Why not? Because it doesn't allow few individuals to pocket profit from works of many people?
Not good enough
250 is the global standard right now
We should aim to beat that
No need we should be slow but steady
@@anandsuralkar2947 absolutely not, India is the 5th largest economy, but we still don't have a high-speed rail system. we are at least 10 years behind everyone. we need to push and develop quick
GADKARI SHOULD FIRST COMPLETE THE PROJECTS WITH 100 PERCENT SAFETY OF PASSENGERS. ONLY THEN PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE YOUR WORDS. ONLY PROPAGANDA WILL NOT CONVINCE PUBLIC. THE GOVT SHOULD ALSO FIX REASONABLE TRAIN FARE & TOLL TAX COLLECTED FROM HIGHWAYS. THE GOVT SHOULD NOT LOOT PUBLIC OF COUNTRY BY FIXING EXORBITANT TOLL RATES WHICH IS BEYOND CONTROL OF PEOPLE.
Aluminum train🤔, why not make sona,chandi train🤔😂.

प्रिय देशवासियो,
क्या आपने कभी सोचा है कि आपके उस कचरे का क्या होता है जिसे आप निश्चिंत होकर चलती ट्रेन या बस की खिड़की से बाहर फेंक देते हैं? कचरा मतलब आपकी प्लास्टिक की बोतलें, चिप्स और बिस्किट के पैकेट, टॉफी के रैपर, चाय के कप, पॉलिथीन के पैकेट, आदि (यानी कोई भी वस्तु जो प्राकृतिक नहीं है)। आपका कचरा मिट्टी में मिल जाता है, नदी के प्रवाह को रोकता है, गंगा जैसी पवित्र नदियों को प्रदूषित करता है, और वन्य जीवन (पशु, गाय, पक्षी, मछली, आदि) को भी नुकसान पहुंचाता है। आखिरकार, यह प्रदूषण हमारे पीने के पानी और कृषि उपज को भी नुकसान पहुंचाएगा। स्वच्छ हवा, पानी और जमीन वाले स्वच्छ देश के बिना हम और हमारी आने वाली पीढ़ी जीवित नहीं रह पाएगी।
हमारा देश हमारा घर है, एक विशाल कूड़ेदान नहीं।
आपसे सादर अनुरोध है कि कृपया अपने कचरे को ट्रेन के डिब्बों या बसों में रखे कूड़ेदान में ही डाले। ऐसा करने से रेलवे/परिवहन कर्मचारी फिर कचरे को पुन: उपयोग के लिए अपशिष्ट "रीसायकल" केंद्र में भेज सकेंगे।
कृपया हमारे सुंदर देश की भलाई एवं स्वच्छता हेतु इस संदेश को शेयर करें। यदि आप अपने डिब्बे या बसों में किसी को कूड़ा फेंकते हुए देखते हैं, तो कृपया उन्हें रोकें और उन्हें समझाएं।
धन्यवाद।

What india doing is making these high class trains and replacing them with old ones gradually so that the normal middle class passengers and poor people wont be able to afford these trains. Indian govt is trying to cut off the poor people from using indian railway services, making it difficult to afford for the middle class people and just privatising railways for meeting the needs of the rich. Master plan at work
"Logic" like yours is why the commies and congis are not in power today lol
See kid government is not fool. They have plan for such things. No nation will do this to their citizens however corrupt they are
Middle class will have vande sleeper⁹
@@SoumyaChowdhury24081995 In a devloped India, all Indians should travel in comfort. That should be the aim and govt. must look after common travellers too.
i don't think so, can't middle class family afford 1k ticket price?🤣🤣and otherhand poor people was, is and will travel in general class train for free. they don't even give a single bucks of money to govt. as a tax, but they need world class facility 🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀
How ugly are these trains...
I hope you have mirrors in your house 🏡
Don't be offended for this infrastructure of lies and deceit. (Mirrors, yes I do have and its okay.)
Where is the track don’t hype
It's sad to see that they're not thinking about reducing costs for themselves and passengers. They can find cheaper materials or manufacturing in bulk and things like that. It's an Indian thing make the best things in the world at comparatively cheap prices.
