Abstract

See full text

The rail vehicle has at least one truck (1) with two wheelset units (12, 12') which are hingedly connected to one another via a coupling arrangement. This truck (1) is formed as a frameless support arrangement and the vehicle body (17) is supported on spring elements (10) and has at least one guide device or at least one pendulum (11) between the truck (1) and the vehicle body (17). The design is greatly simplified by the omission of the complicated bogie frame and is thus light and compact. The radially adjustable wheelset units (12, 12') can moreover be arranged with a small spacing from one another. The frameless truck (1) is accordingly particularly well suited for rail vehicles on rail networks which have narrow turning radii.
