A driving motor car is a railway carriage in a multiple unit train with traction equipment fitted to the coach. More recent practice is to place traction equipment beneath the floor within EMUs and DMUs.
Usage
DMs were used a lot in the past, particularly in the London Underground with the Standard Stock, Gate Stock, 1900 stock and the Waterloo and City railway EMUs all featuring DMs.[citation needed]
An example of a two car unit with a single driving motor coach is with a trailer at the other end is the 2-BIL. The 4CEP and 4COR[1] are examples of four car units with a driving motor at both ends. In these cases, as originally built, a guard's compartment was provided in the driving motor car. By contrast, a development of the 4-CEP, the 4CIG, brought the guard's compartment and traction equipment to a centre coach.
