EMU (Electric Multiple Unit)

A self-propelled electric train where traction motors are distributed across multiple carriages rather than concentrated in a single locomotive. EMUs offer superior acceleration and braking due to their distributed power, making them the standard choice for commuter, regional, and high-speed passenger services on electrified lines.
