The Central Railway has transported automobiles in 18 trains in July 2020. Automobiles are transported in dedicated rakes. One such rake can carry 118 vehicles while the BCACBM-class trains, new high capacity railway wagons, can carry approximately 300 vehicles.

Speaking to mid-day, Central Railway's chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said, "Railways have taken decisive steps to achieve 'Net Zero' carbon emission mass transportation network by 2030. As part of this mission, Central Railway in coordination with automobile companies like Mahindra & Mahindra has started loading cars to parts of India thereby saving precious fuel and earning carbon footprint."
