The invention relates to a rail-borne power unit for conveying passengers. The unit has at least one coach section formed by a coach body with at least one passenger compartment for passengers and with a driver's cab at one or both ends. The coach body is supported on running-gear assemblies formed by wheelsets and driven by at least one drive unit. The rail-borne power unit is a low-floor vehicle in which a central part of the coach body is lowered relative to its end parts. At least one end part of the rail-borne power unit is designed as a motor-coach head. The unit is selectively driven by at least one diesel-mechanical drive, or a diesel-electric drive, or a purely electric drive, or a multi-system drive formed by a combination of a diesel-electric drive with a purely electric drive, or a multi-system drive formed by a combination of two different electric drive variants, or a multi-system drive formed by a combination of a diesel-electric and two different electric drive variants. An electric drive motor drives at least one axle of one of the running-gear assemblies.
