Try parallel tech.Admittedly, I'm left wondering at moments if European/UIC diesel multiple units can achieve better fuel efficiency. Admittedly, I'm left wondering if FRA regs simply make it difficult to design a diesel multiple unit that can match or beat the fuel efficiency of a locomotive with three cars. FRA regs treating each car as a locomotive probably scare off potential operators, and nobody cares enough about schedule padding, so the slower acceleration of a diesel locomotive hauled set isn't a concern. |
