Detailed About MCQs
Amid plans to phase out dirty diesel engines, trains run on gas made from human and animal waste, and discarded food could join the rolling stock of Britain’s railways. The ‘BioUltra’ railcar is the brainchild of a team of engineers led by the Worcester-based Ultra Light Rail Partners — and will be able to carry up to 120 passengers. With a top speed of 50 mph, the 66 feet (20m) of the long car will turn biomethane gas into electrical power which will charge the train’s batteries and drive its motors.
