Delhi Metro has received its first driver-less train from Korea equipped with several advanced features and is expected to be operational by the year end of next year.
According to reports, these new trains have undergone significant technological and eco-friendly upgrades. To increase the comfort of passengers, many features have been added.
The trains will be more energy efficient than the earlier trains because of improved design features such as better regeneration of energy during braking, energy efficient sub systems like LED lighting and air conditioning systems.
These trains will ply on sections of Phase-III of the network. They would run on the over 58 km-long Majlish Park-Shiv Vihar and the over 38 km-long Janakpuri (West)-Botanical Garden corridors of the Phase-III.
