Isnt it a waste of diesel? Why cant LHB coaches be self generating?
It is done to decrease the weight of coaches resulting in increase of speed..
Yes it is a waste of diesel and hence HOG is being considered as a replacement

You actually can't say it is waste of Diesel. Self generating coaches weights almost 10%more than ICF coaches, and the amount of power needed to pull these coaches will be more compared to LHB. So indirectly, loco will be using more diesel/electric city to pull Self generating coaches.
Thats a good point. I was only thinking abt diesel. Thank you. :)
