The VR Class Ds1 was the first Diesel Multiple Unit of the Finnish State Railways. It was ordered in 1927. The Ds1 was built by the Pasila workshop but the automotive parts including the engine were supplied by the Swedish company DEVA. Ds1 has a diesel engine and an electric drive with a diesel generator providing power to the wheels. A cab is at either end of the vehicle so that the vehicle did not have to be turned at terminal stations.
