The MPV is a single vehicle built for Northern Ireland Railways for use in departmental services. It is based on the Windhoff CargoSprinter, but has two cabs and is usually used without any trailers. Like the CargoSprinter, it is powered by two diesel engines which are driving one axle each. Its payload often contains modules for dispensing sandite or with high pressure water jets. The modules can also be swapped for other tasks like weed spraying or tree cutting. So far there is only a short text for this vehicle. In the future it will be described in more detail.
