This is most wonderful! I now realize this is powered by its very own regular diesel engine. Wonder what running on tracks does to its fuel efficiency.

Can achieve higher mileage per litre due to less resistance on rails than road.

@@empatheticgrinch Yep, as per the above answer from Chaminda, the mileage is higher, and the fuel consumption is better than the standard bus on tires on the road, only a bit more fuel is needed in order to pick up speed after it starts from a halt, afterwards it rolls smooth.

In other countries they have rail busses. They can drive on the road as well as on the train tracks. We should have similar vehicles in Sri lanka becuse many of the tracks are not exactly high speed rail tracks to begin with.
