 Multiple unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multiple units were made possible by the development of multiple-unit train control by the American inventor (Franklin J. Sprague), originally to allow newly electrically-powered rapid transit trains to be operated from a single position without the need for a separate locomotive, as was required when such trains were hauled by steam engines.
A multiple unit (MU) is a passenger train whose carriages have their own motors, either diesel ("DMUs") or electric ("EMUs"), and do not need to be hauled by a locomotive, and can be coupled with other similar units to operate together, in multiple.
The motors driving the train on an MU unit are typically mounted underneath the floor of the carriages, on the bogies (in the U.S. "trucks"), the assembly beneath the train that holds the axles and wheels.

 Factors influencing the decision to adopt multiple unit franchising arrangements
Multiple unit franchising appears a conceptually unsound alternative to traditional dyadic revenue sharing franchising relationships as it does not benefit from the structural and operational synergies commensurate with ownership attention at the unit level.
Multiple unit franchising refers to an organisational arrangement in which franchisees are permitted to own more than one unit in the same franchise system.
The model describes multiple unit franchising as a function of the context of franchise system context (age, system corporatisation, plurality of distribution, geographic dispersion of available units and level of existing intra-firm conflict), and strategic (ownership redirection, perceived future agency cost minimisation, and system rewards) factors.

 Chapter 3.104 Property Tax Exemption for New, Multiple-Unit Housing
For the units affordable to households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income under the terms of this Chapter, the units must be rented to households whose incomes do not exceed 80 percent of the area median income upon initial occupancy of the unit by that household.
The unit must be sold to a household earning no more than 100 percent of the area median income for a family of four as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or its successor agency, during the year of sale in order to retain its property tax exempt status.
These affordable units shall be subject to an Extended Use Agreement (EUA) requiring that they be rented in accordance with these rent and income restrictions for a period that is 5 years longer than the tax abatement period (for example, a 10-year tax abatement period would result in a 15-year EUA).
