Motorized rail vehicles with diesel-hydraulic powertrains are powered by onboard diesel engines and propelled by hydraulic transmissions. 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.
