To be accurate the diesel engine drives an alternator, and that provides electrical power to drive the motors then yes, but there's a slight difference in that the 22x motors are mounted on the body and have a drive shaft to the bogie, the 80x motors are mounted on the bogies, which is more EMU like...Does the 800s whilst in diesel mode operate like the class 22*s Diesel engine driving the electric motor that moves the wheels?
