Abstract: A bogie of a rail vehicle has at least one wheelset with two oppositely situated wheels that are rigidly connected to one another, a wheelset bearing arrangement of the wheelset within the two wheels, a traction motor which directly drives the wheelset, and an aerodynamic paneling enclosure of the bogie. The traction motor is a permanently excited synchronous motor with liquid cooling.

Abstract: A chassis for rail vehicles, particularly with inside-supported wheelsets, wherein the drive unit is elastically supported transversely to the travel direction via spring devices within the chassis frame, where the vibrational behavior is optimized and the space available for the drive unit is enlarged because the spring devices are supported directly on the housing of the bearing of the wheelset.

Abstract: A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes at least one vehicle body, components disposed in a distributed manner, and a connecting device provided for linking the components. In order to permit the linking of components disposed in the vehicle in a distributed manner to take place quickly, easily and with lightweight devices, the connecting device includes at least one conductor unit which is coupled to the vehicle body and which has a conductor carrier unit, conductor tracks coupled thereto and at least one interface unit which is provided for forming a connection to at least one of the components.

Abstract: A coach body for a multiple-unit railway vehicle is provided. The coach body includes two bogies at each end. The coach body has a length of at least 27.5 m and side walls of the coach body are designed such that, a maximum outside width in the longitudinal center of the coach being 2.86 m at the height of seat rests, an inside width of at least 2.6 m is achieved for the greatest part of the coach length.

Abstract: A rail vehicle has a permanent-magnet synchronous motor as its traction motor. A switching apparatus is arranged between a converter and the traction motor, connects the traction motor to the converter in the driving mode and connects the traction motor to at least one braking resistance during generator operation of the traction motor. The switching apparatus can be operated pneumatically and is for this purpose connected to a main air control line of a compressed-air braking system. In the driving mode, when the pressure in the main air control line is greater than a threshold value, the traction motor is connected to the converter. For braking, when the pressure in the main air control line is less than the threshold value, the traction motor is connected to the at least one braking resistance.
