Editing Multiple unit (section)

==Passenger multiple units==
Virtually all rapid-transit rolling stock, such as on the [[New York City Subway]], the [[London Underground]], the [[Paris Metro]] and other subway systems, are multiple-units, usually EMUs. Most trains in the Netherlands and Japan are MUs, being suitable for use in areas of high population density.

Many [[high-speed rail]] trains are also multiple-units, such as the Japanese ''[[Shinkansen]]'' and the German [[Intercity-Express]] [[ICE 3]] [[High-speed rail|high-speed trains]]. A new high-speed MU, the [[Automotrice à grande vitesse|AGV]], was unveiled by France's [[Alstom]] on 5 February 2008. It has a claimed service speed of {{cvt|360|km/h|mph}}. India's ICF announced the country's first high-speed engine-less train named 'train 18', which would run at {{cvt|250|km/h|mph}} maximum speed.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7227807.stm "France unveils super-fast train"], [[BBC News]], 5 February 2008.
