dc.description.abstract	The authors discuss the impact of several measures to save and regain energy during the operation of diesel multiple units (dmu) on regional and local railway lines. The problem of recuperating and storing kinetic energy on vehicles with hydrodynamic power transmissions as well as a strategy of using the waste heat of the diesel engine are examined. A model to simulate (hybrid) diesel hydraulic multiple units is presented, taking into account the influences of track and driver behaviour. The simulation results provided show a significant fuel saving potential for rail vehicles with hybrid drive trains.	eng
