====India==== [[File:KCG - NZB Pass. (33014652690).jpg|thumb|DEMU with an older [[WDG-3A]] locomotive hauled passenger train]][[File:Jalandhar - Hoshiarpur DEMU at Jalandhar City Station.jpg|thumb|DMMU in India]] DMUs (particularly DEMUs) are widely used in India. DEMUs in India are used in both the eight-coach format and the four-coach format. These trains replaced many (up to 10 car) trains with a [[WDM-2]] or [[WDM-3A]] locomotive in the middle. These old trains had the loco controls duplicated in the Driving Trailer coach and all the actuation information reaching the locomotive through thin communication lines. This was called 'push-pull train'. The longest running such push-pull service operated between Diva β Bhiwandi Road and Vasai Road and was recently converted into an [[MEMU]] train service in 2018. India's first and largest DMU shed at [[Jalandhar District|Jalandhar]], Punjab, holds more than 90 units placed in service all over Punjab. The DMU services in India have had various different classes. They can be classified as *First generation DMU: [[File:(SC-Medchal) DHMU at Ammuguda.jpg|thumb|Older First generation DHMU in India]] **Rated power was 700 HP and had either three or six coaches. **Transmission was Voith-hydraulic. **Max speed 100 km/h. **Made at first at ICF and then at [[Rail Coach Factory|RCF]]. *Second generation DMU: [[File:Nanded - Medchal DEMU Express.jpg|thumb|Second generation DEMU train in India]] **Rated power is 1400 HP and have eight coaches. **Max speed is 105 km/h. **Transmission is DC electric. **Made at ICF and [[Rail Coach Factory|RCF]]. *Third generation DMU: [[File:BMO - GWD Pushkaram Special (28892046730).jpg|thumb|Third Generation Modern DEMU with a [[WDM-3A]] locomotive]] **Rated power is 1,600 HP and have ten coaches. **Max speed is 110 km/h. **Transmission is AC electric. **Made at [[Integral Coach Factory|ICF]].
