An electro-diesel multiple unit (EDMU) or bi-mode multiple unit (BMU) is a form of a multiple unit that can be powered either by electric power picked up from the overhead lines or third rail (like an electric multiple unit – EMU) or by using an onboard diesel engine, driving an electric generator, which produces AC or DC electric power (like a diesel-electric multiple unit – DEMU).[1][2]

Asia
China
Two variants of the China Railway CR200J-SG Fuxing (HXD1D-J and FXN3-J) high-speed train are electro-diesel (bi-mode) multiple units specifically designed for plateau operation. They are HXD1D-J manufactured by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive and FXN3-J manufactured by CRRC Dalian. Two variants are served on Sichuan–Tibet railway.[3]
Oceania
Australia
NSW TrainLink Regional Train Project is building 117 bi-mode carriages (1.5 kV DC) to replace its diesel fleet of interstate and regional XPT, Xplorer and Endeavour trainsets to be delivered by CAF from 2023.

France
Bombardier has built dual-mode variants of its AGC series[4] for the French operator SNCF; the electricity is collected by means of a pantograph.
- B 81500 – multiple unit trains using 1.5 kV DC catenary. In service since 2005.
- B 82500 – multiple unit trains using both 1.5 kV DC and 25 kV AC catenary. In service since October 2007.
- Alstom Règiolis (B 83500, B 84500, B 85000, B 85900). In service since April 2014 (B 83500 and B 84500).
Italy
- BTR 813,[5] first electro-diesel version of the Stadler Flirt, service in the Valle d'Aosta region[6] since October 2019.
Norway
- 14 bi-modal variants of the Stadler Flirt trains, called NSB Class 76[7] in Norway, held by the state owned Norske Tog and operated by the line operator SJ AB (as SJ Nord) entering service in 2021. [8]
Poland
- Newag Impuls is offered in electro-diesel (hybrid) version.[9] First units were delivered to West Pomeranian Voivodeship and started regular revenue service in early 2021.[10]
Russia
- DT1 (ДТ1) Russian-gauge multiple unit. In service since 2009.
United Kingdom
Electro-diesel multiple units whose electricity source is 25 kV 50 Hz AC overhead line include:
