US Railcar designs two types of railcars, self-propelled and non-powered commuter coaches, which are available in single or bi-level. The single level vehicles can carry up to 94 passengers, 188 for the bi-levels. The self propelled vehicles can pull two other coaches with their two 600 horsepower (450 kw) diesel engines. The non-powered coaches have a high level of parts commonality with the DMU offerings.

Unlike European & Asian DMUs, the US Railcar DMU can operate in all mixed-mode freight corridors throughout the country without waivers and/or temporal separation agreements currently required for non-compliant foreign platforms.

Available in both regional and intercity configurations, the US Railcar DMU is uniquely suited for incremental corridor development at speeds from 79-to-90 mph. Platform enhancements currently anticipated include a diesel-electric upgrade, increasing speeds to 125 mph, making this American-made DMU the ideal solution for both mature and emerging passenger rail agencies around the country.
