HEAD ON GENERATION (HOG) TECHNOLOGY

Sept. 19, 2019

Ministry of Railways has decided to adopt Head on Generation (HOG) technology in all LHB Coaches trains within this year. Till date 342 trains have already been converted into HOG.

About:

  • In HOG Technology, the power will be drawn from the overhead electric supply.

  • The power generator cars which used to make huge noise and emit fumes will no more be there.
    • In place of two such generator cars there will be one standby silent generator car to be used for emergency.

    • In place of the other car, there will be LSLRD (LHB Second Luggage, Guard & Divyaang Compartment). This LSLRD will also have capability to convert power from the overhead supply to be utilised in the entire train while providing space for luggage guard room and additional passengers.
