Motorized rail vehicles with a diesel-hydraulic powertrain are powered by an onboard diesel engine and propelled by hydraulic transmission. This transmission type is characterized by the use of one or more torque converters, which are enclosed devices filled up with hydraulic fluid. A pump on one end is driven by the engine, whereas a turbine on the other end is driving the wheels.
