For the front carriage where the driver is located, indeed shaped differently than usual with a slightly sloping windshield, it is useful to give the driver a wider viewing angle (30% wider) and facilitate the driver to see if there are people on his side.

In terms of aerodynamics does not support at all with such a form, but as this will be used as a commuter train with the speed is only about 24 km/h so there is not needed aerodynamic shape.

Inside, passengers are pampered with some features such as the LED lights that can change color to provide comfort, GPS, air conditioning, anti-bacterial handrails as well as Wi-Fi connection.

The R1 is scheduled to be launched in 2015 to carry passengers ranging from 190-270 passengers once way.
