OVERVIEW
R&D at Bangalore Complex was established during 1979-80 with an objective to be self-sufficient with regard to design & development of new products. Over the years, a number of products have been designed, developed and productionized to meet the requirements of Indian Railways and various Metro corporations.
R&D team is very well established and has acquired the domain skill sets / technology over the years. Expert teams are built-up for various systems like Carbody & Structures, Bogie and Vehicle dynamics, Brake, interiors / outfitting aggregates, propulsion, vehicle control circuit, communication, train management, system integration & interfacing.
Computer simulation and Analysis techniques are used extensively, to optimize the design and reduce the development cycle time.
