Cardan shaft from the power output side of Hyd

transmission drives axle mounted drive unit. Trailing

axle of one bogie mounted with the reduction gear

drive. Reverser unit also mounted on the axle drive.

Radiator cooled by electric motors is mounted on the

coach roof.

125 kVA DG set provided in both the DPCs for

powering auxiliaries viz. Radiator fan, battery charging,
