France FR SNCF Turbotrains SNCF Multiple units powered by a gas turbine were very popular in France in the beginning of the '70s. But the oil crisis caused the end of the development of these "Turbotrains". ETG First generation of turbotrains, created on the basis of EAD DMUs. One of the two power units still has a Diesel motor (X 4700 then T 1500), the other one has a turbo unit (X 4800 then T 1000).
