In India we are familiar to only on system of trains that is a locomotive leading the coaches (I say it as  leading power system ). This system is neither safe,fast nor efficient. For the replacement of these few countries have introduced  Trainset System.  Trainset system train used in paris. What are Trainsets? Trainsets are just coaches having their own traction motors for each pair of wheels which are controlled by a controller system present in the first and/or last coach in the set. Why they are fast? It is quite simple to answer this. The individual traction motors makes the power distribution good so the momentum transfer from locomotive to coaches is not required hence the speed becomes good. Other features Good Acceleration :  Because they have individual traction motors they are good in acceleration. Safer than leading power system :  The change in momentum is negligible when train stops or starts so there is low probability of shocks as well they dera

In the cabinet meeting held today (04 October, 2017) decision on MoU between India and Switzerland in the rail sector was been apprised. The major points of the Memorandum of Understanding between Ministry of Railways, Govt. of India and Federal department of Environment,Transport, Energy and Communication of Swiss Confederation which was been signed on 31 st August, 2017 : Tilting Trains :  Tilting trains that are really prominent for high speed in Switzerland and other countries which used the technology. The Tilting trains have a unique feature of tilting of the coach while the wheels and bogie remain on track, so the train must not be slowed on a curve. EMU and rolling stock :  The modern EMU and rolling stock manufactured in Switzerland would be manufactured in India with the sharing of technologies. Railway Station Modernisation  : The Stations would be redeveloped with the help of Swiss Companies (for few stations). Traction Rolling Stock Traction Propulsion Equipmen
