Automotor

Un vehículo ferroviario individual autopropulsado que transporta pasajeros o, con menos frecuencia, mercancías sin necesidad de una locomotora separada. Los automotores pueden funcionar con diésel, electricidad o baterías, y se utilizan habitualmente en ramales rurales y rutas de baja demanda donde un tren completo resultaría antieconómico.
