Features of Metro Trains.

All the metro trains are equipped with regenerative breaking system, and will save upto 35 percent energy.

The trains are also fitted with carbon dioxide based sensors which saves energy. With the increasing load of passenger trains the co2 based sensors provides an ambient temperature.

The trains will be managed and operated from world class Agra Metro depot and will be operated in automated CBTC mode (Comminication Based Train Control) making the train operations absolutely safe and efficient.

Initially, upon their arrival the trains will be tested on the 1 km long test track built inside the depot for all equipments and safety features.
