The Budd SPV-2000 is a self-propelled diesel multiple unit railcar built by the Budd Company in 1979–1980 for use on North American commuter railroads. The design was a successor to Budd's popular Rail Diesel Car (RDC) but based on the body of the Amfleet passenger car. It did not prove a success: Budd built 31 cars and they proved mechanically unreliable. == Design == Budd announced the design in 1976. At the time it contemplated multiple unit operation of up to six cars with a top speed of . Power would be provided by General Motors diesel engines. ''Popular Science'' depicted a tapered cab similar to the power car of the Advanced Passenger Train; the SPV-2000 would enter service with a more traditional blunt-end operator's cab. Budd said that SPV stood for "Special Purpose Vehicle" (Self-Propelled Vehicle became common), and emphasized the design's suitability for both intercity and commuter rail service. The body shell of the SPV-2000 was very similar to the Amfleet passenger coach, which in turn was based on the Metroliner electric multiple unit. The SPV-2000 featured operator cabs at both ends and (in the standard configuration) 86 seats in 22 rows. There was an accessible toilet at one end and a small space to store luggage at the other.〔 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) cars could seat 109.〔
