Semi-high-speed trains named Train-18, developed in collaboration between Medha and ICF, are now operational with 50 units in service. Each train has a power rating of 11.5MW, consists of 16 coaches, 8 of which 50% are motorized, and are designed to operate at a maximum speed of 180 km/hr.
Medha’s monorail trains feature lightweight Aluminium bodies, ensuring sturdiness alongside improved energy efficiency. Equipped with Communication Based Train Control (CBTC), they offer precise movement control at Grade of Automation 2 (GOA2), with potential upgrade to GOA4, enabling fully autonomous operation.
Comprehensive Metro solution from Medha. Medha has undertaken the complete design and the full suite of Medha rollingstock products are used in the Metro train. With their frequent service, comfortable interiors, smooth ride, and accessibility features, these metro trains are a popular choice for commuters in Kolkata. 18 trains are currently operational with 8 car formation (50% motorised).
New 6000 hp WAP5 locomotive designed and manufactured with collaborative efforts between MEDHA and Chittaranjan Locomotive Works. The locomotive will operate in a push-pull configuration comprising of two locomotives stationed at each end of 22 passenger coaches.
Medha’s traction technology powers the Stadler DEMU-ARST, a high-performance diesel-electric multiple unit tailored for regional and commuter services across Italy. 7 trains are currently in operation with 25 more to follow.
Medha’s power electronics and traction systems have been successfully employed by Renfe across numerous trains. In this particular case study, these advanced systems are integrated into high-speed trains as part of Renfe’s ongoing upgrade and modernisation initiatives.
Medha’s advanced onboard electronics suite of PAPIS technology is used in the R211S train. The PAPIS system, powered by Medha’s technology, enhances passenger experience by providing clear and timely announcements, improving safety, and helps create a smoother, stress-free journey.
Medha’s advanced auxiliary power system brings significant enhancements in energy efficiency, reducing operational costs and improving system reliability for seamless service of Arriva Transpennine trains. These upgrades ensure consistent operation of essential functions like HVAC, lighting, and passenger information displays, enhancing overall comfort. Additionally, Medha’s advanced systems support modern features such as Wi-Fi and real-time monitoring, extending the lifespan of train infrastructure while aligning with sustainability and efficiency goals for a more reliable, passenger-friendly metro experience.
Medha through our fully owned subsidiary Sepsa began our collaboration with Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM) in Brazil in the early 2000s to support modernisation efforts for São Paulo’s regional rail network. Medha’s cutting-edge technology, including real-time passenger information systems, energy-efficient lighting solutions, and propulsion systems played a crucial role in enhancing CPTM’s operational performance and commuter satisfaction. Over the years, SepsaMedha’s involvement has strengthened CPTM’s capabilities, solidifying Medha’s role as a key player in Latin American rail modernisation.
Medha successfully converts the EMD GP9 Diesel Locomotive to a first-of-its-kind Battery Electric model in the USA, marking a pioneering step in sustainable rail technology.
