DMU is "Train of the Future"


Colorado Railcar has developed a U.S. version of a class of railcar that has been in use for some time in Europe and Japan that could revolutionize transportation in the States. Features of the Colorado Railcar DMU include:

+ World's first double deck hybrid engine/passenger car that seats 188. The new bi-level coach features baggage storage areas, bicycle racks, fully accessible ADA restrooms and roll-on, roll-off wheelchair access.

+ Dramatic fuel economy at half the budget of comparable locomotives.

+ Potential to run biodiesel, resulting in further fuel savings, better air quality, and less oil dependency.

+ 75% less noise than a locomotive.
