Parry People Movers Ltd, a company formed in 1992 with a licence to develop a hybrid drive line using an energy store, is developing a range of derivatives from its successful 'PPM 30' and 'PPM 50' two axle rail buses and light railcars.
The new PPM 80 matches the passenger capacity of large modern articulated buses and the smallest type of trains, the ‘Class 153,Sprinter' units which were introduced in the 1980's.
The new PPM 80 design introduces bogie running gear for increased speed and for smoother running on tradionally-constructed railways.

Designed for short distance services, below 10 miles, it makes ample provision for standing passengers with a maximum capacity of 80.
Its prime mover driveline comprises proven automotive components using lp gas, hydrogen or ‘green’ diesel to provide the perception of clean, low noise operation, typical of modern trams.
