The Independently Powered Electric Multiple-Unit (IPEMU) project is a battery-powered train that entered trial passenger service in Essex, UK, in January 2015. The prototype rail project is UK's first modern battery-powered train and was established to demonstrate the potential of a battery / electric hybrid EMU in passenger service.
