An electro-diesel multiple unit (EDMU) or bi-mode multiple unit (BMU) is a form of a multiple unit train that can be powered either by electric power picked up from the overhead lines or third rail (like an electric multiple unit – EMU) or by using an onboard diesel engine, driving an electric generator, which produces alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) electric power (like a diesel-electric multiple unit – DEMU).{{cite news |author= |title=[UK] Greater Anglia: First FLIRT UK on the tracks for testing |url=https://railcolornews.com/2018/05/15/uk-greater-anglia-first-flirt-uk-on-the-tracks-for-testing/ |work=Railcolornews |date=15 May 2018}}{{cite web |title=Bi-mode multiple unit – FLIRT |url=https://www.stadlerrail.com/media/pdf/feabmu0916e.pdf |publisher=Stadler |quote=The bi-mode units enable an interruption-free service on electrified and non-electrified lines.

China Railway CR200J-SG Fuxing high-speed train is a power-concentrated electro-diesel (bi-mode) multiple unit specifically designed for plateau operation. Each train consists of HXD1D-J electric locomotive (power car) at one end, FXN3-J two-unit diesel locomotive (two power cars) at another end, and 9 25-T passenger coaches between them. Electric and diesel power cars have their own independent traction motor systems, but can be operated from cabs of each other. HXD1D-J is a special version of HXD1D electric locomotive manufactured by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive and FXN3-J is a special version of a FXN3 locomotive manufactured by CRRC Dalian – both of them have changed body design and are adapted for joint operation as part of a train.{{cite web|url=https://china-emu.cn/EMUs/Series/?detail-138-101-33.html|title=CR200JS-G|website=china-emu.cn|lang=Chinese}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1rN411Z7zU/|title=CR200JS-G (video)|website=bilibili.com}} These trains are served on Sichuan–Tibet railway.{{Cite web|title=秦岭山间舞小青——内电双源高原动车组宝天铁路精彩亮相|url=https://m.sohu.com/a/466417618_100231786/?pvid=000115_3w_a|date=14 May 2021|access-date=13 April 2022|website=sohu.com|language=Chinese}}
