Abstract: The invention relates to a bogie for a rail vehicle characterized by a high lightweight construction potential. The bogie (1, 1*, 1**) according to the invention has, for primary suspension, a torsion spring system (12) in the inner volume of which a roll stabilizer having a torsion rod (11) is arranged in a torsionally movable manner. The roll stabilizer can be articulated to the car body of the rail vehicle or to the torsion spring system (12). The bogie (1, 1*, 1**) according to the invention advantageously has a particularly large installation space for built-in components.

Abstract: A device for connecting a cross member for receiving pivot pins on two lower longitudinal members of a car body for a rail vehicle. The cross member has a transversal part that connects the two longitudinal members to each other in the region of the connection, and a longitudinal part that extends to the closest car front. The lower longitudinal members extend over the complete length of the car body and consist of multi-chamber hollow profiles made of a fibre composite material. The number of chambers of the multi-chamber hollow profile of each longitudinal member is reduced in the region of the connection such that the wall material of at least one chamber was removed in such a way that the webs to the adjacent chambers are exposed. At these places, load-introducing elements engage, to which load-introducing elements the cross member is attached.

Abstract: The application relates to a crash system for the head module of a rail vehicle, said head module being detachably fixed to the front face of a subsequent railcar unit without additional underframe. The crash system has a crash conduction element that carries a crash box at its front end and the back end of which is fixed to the underframe support of the subsequent railcar unit. In the event of a crash, crash forces are thus absorbed by the underframe of the subsequent railcar unit.
