India Metro Additions, Including VT, To Conserve Energy

Kanpur Metro trains and lifts in India will be equipped with regenerative braking technology to help in energy conservation, The Times of India reported on June 7. The energy efficiency of the Kanpur trains using this system will be around 45%, and the energy generated using the brakes will be conserved and redistributed back into the metro system. In addition, escalators and elevators with a 35% energy efficiency will be installed at the stations. The polytechnic depot of the Kanpur Metro will also be equipped with a zero-discharge facility with two water treatment plants: one will recycle gray water, and the other will recycle black water. The entire metro premises will have 100% LED lighting.
