Railways set to commission double-decker wagons for SUVs

In the next two weeks, it's expected that the Indian Railways, which continues to be the most affordable and well-liked mode of transportation for automakers, will roll out modified double-decker vehicle transport waggons.
The waggons, which have been rebuilt to meet industry demands, will make it possible to move more cars, particularly sport utility vehicles (SUVs), reducing emissions and costs.
Manish Thaplyal, executive director, Waggon, in RDSO, is credited with redesigning the waggons. "The waggon type 'ACTI' (auto car taller waggon) can transport SUVs in both decks, as opposed to the one in use currently which can only load sports vehicles in one deck," he added.
On Thursday, Thaplyal assumed leadership of the Northern Railway's Lucknow division as the divisional railway manager (DRM).
They are known as bogie covered bi-level auto car waggons (BCACBM), and they are currently in use.
