The Bengaluru Division of
South Western Railway (SWR) operated India’s first double-decker rake to
transport Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) from Penukonda to Farukh Nagar in
Gurgaon district in Haryana. A
total of 264 SUVs were transported, which generated a revenue of Rs 34 lakh for
the Railways. Deployment of this unique rake is expected to boost economic
growth as well as the automotive industry. This initiative marks a new era in
the efficient, cost-effective transportation of vehicles and is expected to
contribute significantly to the revenue of Indian Railways.
The unique
ACT1 model rake consists of 33 specially designed wagons with a
capacity to carry the huge number of rakes. The innovative double-decker design of the ACT1
wagons allows SUVs to be loaded onto both decks, improving overall capacity and
reducing transportation cost.
This
new system is set to revolutionise the transportation of large vehicles across
India, offering higher capacity compared to the existing wagons. “By
increasing transport capacity and reducing costs, it will help move more
vehicles efficiently, supporting the economy. Each rake, equipped with 33 ACT1 wagons, can carry up to 264 SUVs,
enabling the transportation of more vehicles in a single trip. The ACT1 rake
supports the shift from road to rail for vehicle transport, offering a more
sustainable, cost-effective, and faster solution.
The Business Development Unit
(BDU) of Bengaluru Division has been instrumental in promoting rail transport
to industries, emphasising its cost-effectiveness, speed, and safety. This will benefit vehicle
manufacturers by providing reliable and efficient logistics for their products.
