The coaches of gujrat mail are self generating coaches which is used to run the ac where as fully ac train do not have such facility so generator is needed to run ac fan etc.
Gujarat mail AC coaches carries Dynamo to Generate power for the batteries hence no Generator required, whereas RJDH/SHBD trains do not have batteries under the coach,this is done to decrease coach weight to enhance speed thus they need external generator
few month ago i heard that railway going to use new technology where power for ac coaches could be taken directly from ac traction hence no battries and power van required.
Even LHB coaches for durontos are also self generating but why does these require generator cars?
