  • A Multiple unit Train 

 

  •  Powered by onboard Diesel Engines  

 


Advantages: 

 

  1. No need for a separate locomotive as the same is incorporated in one of the carriages. 


  1. Each passenger-carrying car  - Its own source of motive power fitted below the Coach. 

 

  1. Does not need reversal at both ends (Terminals).  This will reduce a lot of traveling time by eliminating shunting operations.  

 

  1. Quick acceleration & deacceleration render them most suitable for short-distance passenger trains.
