The most complex piece of equipment being designed in India, virtually?

How GE Transportation, now a Wabtec company, uses virtual reality to cross-collaborate with a global team to design Indian locomotives

The diesel electric locomotive being built by GE Transportation, now a Wabtec company, is perhaps the most complex piece of equipment that is being designed out of India, after the light combat aircraft.

A typical loco has roughly around 300,000 parts starting from the giant engines to radiators, not to mention the complex electronic units. All these have to be fitted into a truck (structure) which is all but 21.28 metres long, 3.2 metres wide, and 4.2 metres high.

The locomotive design needs a significant amount of customisation to meet the specifications given by the client, in this case the Indian Railways.
