Abstract: A rail-borne motor coach for conveying passengers has at least one coach body, the side walls of which have windows and entry regions with doors. The coach body is constructed as a trough with a low-floor coach-body floor and raised coach heads. The side walls are a framework of side-wall pillars, lower longitudinal girders and upper longitudinal flanges. The upper longitudinal flanges are braced against one another by transverse connecting members.
Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a body with side walls having a frame including supporting beams for absorbing vertical forces and longitudinal beams extending horizontally. Panelling is disposed on the inner side and the outer side of the frame and attached to the longitudinal beams. Additionally, windows are disposed in the side walls and framed by the supporting and the longitudinal beams. The supporting beams extend obliquely to the longitudinal beams and engage in the respective recesses of the longitudinal beams.
