Following an approval from the railway board, NF Railway zone at its Dibrugarh Workshop has produced New High Speed Automobile Carrier (NMGHS) coaches which are modified from old GSCN coaches. These coaches feature a side door for loading/unloading of automobiles and are especially intended for two wheelers movement.
These coaches are being introduced by the Indian Railways for the very first time, and feature multiple improved functions over the traditional type freight coaches, offering improved speed and accessibility with more loading capacity. Three coaches have been rolled out so far, featuring higher payload carrying capacity of 18 tonnes as comparison to the earlier traditional freight coach with a carrying capacity of 12 tonnes.
