Everything about Electric multiple unit
Self-powered electric trains
An electric multiple unit (EMU) is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages. However, electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The vast majority of EMUs are passenger trains, but versions also exist for carrying mail. Wikipedia →
