The effort is part of France’s strategy to eventually phase diesel power out of its national rail fleet. The idea is to convert dual-mode (catenary and diesel-powered) high capacity self-propelled trains to dual-mode battery-powered AGCs. Technicians will remove the trains’ diesel packs and replace them with four battery units each.
