Abstract
A drive bogie includes axles, a chassis and a device for driving each axle, including a motor, a reduction gearbox and a transmission coupling between the motor and the reduction gearbox, with a support mechanism being provided to allow the vehicle to support the drive device. The support mechanism for supporting the drive device comprises a suspension for suspending the reduction gearbox from the body of the vehicle, the suspension being articulated to the reduction gearbox or to the body, a device for articulating the motor to the chassis of the bogie about a roughly horizontal axis, and a device for connecting the motor to the reduction gearbox, the connecting device being articulated both to the motor and to the reduction gearbox. Thus, most of the mass of the reduction gearbox and of the motor is suspended vertically from the body of the vehicle.
