An electric multiple unit or 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. Most EMUs are used for passenger trains but some have been built or converted for specialised non-passenger roles such as carrying mail or luggage or in departmental use for example as de-icing trains.
