.
Linke Hoffman Busch (LHB) Coaches are designed by Alstom Germany and manufactured at Kapurthala Coach Factory and is used in high speed trains such as Rajdhani and Shatabdi.
Integral Coach Factory (ICF) coaches are designed and manufactured by Indian Railways and are the more conventional ones, seen in most express trains.
.
LHB coaches have an average speed of 160 kmph and a top speed of 200 kmph as compared to an average speed of 70 kmph and a top speed of 140 kmph in ICF coaches.
.
LHB coaches are more safer as compared to ICF coaches. LHB coaches are anti-telescopic and does not turn turtle in case of a derailment. These coaches are made of stainless steel as compared to mild steel (which is a less ductile material and also heavier then stainless steel) in ICF coaches, this increases its shock bearing capacity in case of a mishap. The coupling system in LHB reduces the relative motion between two coaches and also prevents one coaches rising on the other in case of an mishap.
