Production of these Hybrid coaches have been stopped and now Indian Railways prefers stainless steel shell mounted on FIAT bogies fitted with Disc breaks. The coaches are longer than the ICF coaches and due to this, they were able to accommodate more passengers per coach and all the coaches of this design have CBC couplers. These type of coaches are certified fit to run at 160 Kmph.
