driving vehicle trailer (dvt) leading braucoša dzelzceļa transportlīdzekļa piekabe jeb treileris (DVT), kas vada Explanation: A Driving Van Trailer (DVT), sometimes referred to as Driving Luggage Van (DLV) is a purpose-built railway vehicle that allows the driver to operate a locomotive at the opposite end of a train. Trains operating with a DVT therefore do not require the locomotive to run round to the other end of the train at terminal stations. Unlike many other control cars, DVTs resemble locomotives (specifically Class 91) and thus when the train is operating in "push" mode it does not appear to be travelling backwards. The vehicles have no passenger accommodation due to rules in place at the time of building that prohibited passengers in the leading vehicles of trains that travel at more than 100 miles per hour (160 km/h).
