Hunter's comment

The train operates on energy from the sun. Solar panels on the train and train storage shed generate the equivalent amount of energy required to operate the train daily, charging the on-board battery bank. This is a world-first truly solar train.

This train has sitting capacity for 92 passengers. Additional room for standing and luggage.

Features

1. Curved solar Panels on roof generating 6.5KW
2. Large array of solar PV panels on the train storage shed roof generating 30kW for charging batteries
3. Regenerative braking system to use traction during brakes for charging batteries.
