Electric Multiple Units (EMU)

An Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) is a type of train that runs on electricity and has multiple carriages, each equipped with its own motors for propulsion. Unlike traditional trains with a separate locomotive, EMUs distribute the power across several cars, allowing for better acceleration, energy efficiency, and flexibility in operation. They are commonly used for commuter and regional rail services due to their quick start-stop capabilities and ability to adapt to various passenger demands. EMUs are sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to diesel-powered trains, contributing to cleaner transportation systems.
