Hi! I would like to request for the technical specifications of the DOST Hybrid Electric Train (HET) that recently had a test run earlier today on April 24, 2019 on the PNR tracks. Specifically, I would like to request for the exact dimensions of the trainsets, platform height, weight, decceleration, acceleration, traction, and specifications on the power and battery systems. My main purpose for requesting this information is to document the train's technical details on its own Wikipedia page, where other researchers may be able to use the data in various fields of scientific research.
