Multiple units with locomotive-like power cars are self-propelled trainsets with dedicated power cars which don't have any places for passengers, staff or goods (however, some power cars can have a small luggage room). Such trains can be considered both as a power-concentrated multiple units and a push-pull trains. Technically, power cars of such trains are single-ended locomotives which contains only driver's cab and a machine room with all power equipment, but have the similar design with intermediate coaches of a train, integrated with them and aren't intended to operate with any other types of coaches, so they usually aren't being considered as a standalone locomotives and don't have their own type designations. Usually such power cars are located at the head part of the train (such power cars are called "power heads" or "traction heads"), however some trainsets have non-passenger intermediate power cars that are similar to locomotive B-units.
