According to Indian Railways, Vande Bharat 2.0 has new and improved features that enable it to travel from 0 to 100 kph in under 52 seconds, from 160 kph to a top speed of 180 kph in another 129 seconds. In comparison to the outdated Vande Bharat, which weighed 430 tonnes, the improved Vande Bharat would weigh 392 tonnes.
Moreover, an on-demand Wi-Fi connection function is included. As opposed to the 24-inch screens in the previous iteration, the coaches have 32-inch screens that provide passengers with information and entertainment. Due to the ACs' increased energy efficiency, the Vande Bharat Express 2.0 is also environmentally beneficial.
The Vande Bharat Express 2.0 provides a number of exceptional and aircraft-like travel experiences. It has cutting-edge, modern safety features, like the KAVACH Train Collision Avoidance System, which was created domestically.
