ER INTRODUCED MORE HOG COMPLIANT LHB RAKE

Kolkata, November 30, 2019:

As a part of Railways initiative towards technological up-gradation and  advancements in the field of power electronics,  control system and power supply system, 3 more LHB rakes of Eastern Railway  have been converted to HOG (Head o­n Generation)  with end to end running o­n HOG compliant electric locos from this week of November 2019. With this addition HOG introduced in 2^nd rake out of 3 rakes of 12367/12368 (Bhagalpur- Anand Vihar Vikramshila) Express and three rakes out of four rakes of 12337/12338, 12339/12340, 12341/12342 (Howrah-Bolpur Shantiniketan Express, Howrah-Dhanbad Coal Field Express, Howrah-Asansol Agniveena Express)  & 13011/13012 (Howrah-Malda Intercity Express) & 53047/53048 (Vishwabharati Fast Passenger). 

Now, a total of 23 out of 38 rakes with 42 trains of ER are running o­n HOG, effecting saving of nearly Rs 25 Cr. per annum fuel bill of IR.

Apart from the common features of LHB rake which provides passengers more safe and comfortable journey with better aesthetic look in environment friendly green rake fitted with  bio- digester tanks, by this Head o­n Generation (HOG) technology, load of lights, fans air-conditioning, pantry etc. will be fed from the electric locomotive instead of from the power cars placed at either ends of the rake as was used in the End o­n Generation (EOG) system.

The latest technology, saving huge quantity of about 60 litres Diesel per hour, is free from air and noise pollution and carbon credits can be earned as carbon dioxide is not emitted into the environment through burning of High Speed Diesel.
