Abstract
The rail vehicle has two bogies each connected to the vehicle body by way of a single rod adapted to transmit traction and braking forces. The rods are disposed in the longitudinal center-plane of the body and are articulated to the body at one end and to the particular bogie at the opposite end. The rods are at an inclination such that the imaginary extension of the longitudinal axis of each rod intersects the transverse center-plane of the particular bogie concerned at a distance below the plane of the rail-top surfaces. To an extent corresponding to the distance, the axle loading of the leading wheel set of the leading bogie becomes greater than the axle loading of the second wheel set, thus compensating for the effect of reduced friction between the leading wheel set and the rails in bad weather conditions.
