VNR said that on the opening day, passengers will get a 10% discount on tickets for these trains.
It noted the trains are the combined products of railway, aviation, shipbuilding and auto industries. They were made from high-quality materials by modern technologies.
In the carriages with beds, each passenger position is equipped with a book light and a USB port for phone charging. In other carriages, passengers will be able to adjust their seats and air conditioning devices.
Book shelves and electronic screens are also installed on the trains to serve passengers, VNR said.
