One of the notable features of WAP-5 is [[Regenerative brake|regenerative braking]]. Other notable features of this loco are the provision of taps from the main loco transformer for [[hotel load]], pantry loads, flexible gear coupling, wheel-mounted [[disc brakes]], and a potential for speed enhancement to {{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on}}. Braking systems include {{convert|160|kN|lbf|abbr=on}} regenerative brakes, loco disc brakes, automatic train air brakes, and a charged spring [[Parking brake#Railroad hand brakes|parking brake]]. | One of the notable features of WAP-5 is [[Regenerative brake|regenerative braking]].

In October 2015, [[Chittaranjan Locomotive Works]] rolled out a WAP-5 locomotive (no. 30086) with a gear ratio of 59:35:19 for speed operations up to {{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on}}. The control software was also modified accordingly. Another locomotive (no. 30164) was rolled out with aerodynamic cab profile.This is just a trial and not intended for passenger use as the tracks are not supported in major routes. | In October 2015, [[Chittaranjan Locomotive Works]] rolled out a WAP-5 locomotive (no. 30086) with a gear ratio of 59:35:19 for speed operations up to {{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on}}.

Two WAP-5 locomotives (no. 35012 and 35013) were given a single-cab design and an aerodynamic profile. One locomotive will be placed on each end of the train to utilize a [[push–pull train|push-pull configuration]] for future [[Tejas Express]] services. The two locomotives have a power output of {{Convert|6000|hp|kW}} and will have a maximum speed of {{Convert|160|km/h|mph}}.
