7221 series was a diesel motor railbus on Hrvatske Željeznice.

This series was used on branch lines with low traffic. This series was very economic. Unfortunately, it was (to today's standards) very uncomfortable. The motor was very loud, when running at higher speeds.

This series was conceived to be modular. It was possible to couple motor units and unpowered cars together, and drive them centrally as one train unit. This was used seldomly when there was demand on lines.

It is very similar and derives from the German "Schienenbus".

Curosity

There is also a special version of this vehicle existing. It is painted blue and is used as a track mesaure train. It is located in Zagreb, on "Ranžirni Kolodvor" and used occasionally to monitor track on branch lines.
