According to Indian Railways, Vande Bharat 2.0 has new and improved features that enable it to travel from 0 to 100 kph in under 52 seconds, from 160 kph to a top speed of 180 kph in another 129 seconds. In comparison to the outdated Vande Bharat, which weighed 430 tonnes, the improved Vande Bharat would weigh 392 tonnes.
