No, they are self powered vehicles. Locomotives provide traction for themselves AND other vehicles. The problem is that it's just cheaper to have a 3 car push pull and a single locomotive than 3 DMU's. This is why NJT has forsaken MU's of ANY kind. Nothing more hysterical than seeing an 9 car MLV push pull with 2 cars open crawling between stations on the Montclair branch.
