Total eight motors of those of four trucks are driven by these feeder systems (b) through the electricity receiving units (c) on both sides, and a power unit is composed of three vehicles. Each of vehicle numbers of vehicles constituting a power unit is circled by a circular. A connection structural idler vehicle body T is generally connected between power units, that is, between the electricity receiving power vehicles M of units which are different from each other in types so that two power units may be directly connected to each other.
