Abstract: A chassis (100), in particular a low-floor chassis, for a rail vehicle, in particular for a tram-way. The chassis (100) comprises at least four wheels (4) each having a wheel bearing, at least two wheel axles for suspending the wheels (4), a chassis frame (1) and a primary suspension for suspending the wheels (4) relative to the chassis frame (1). The primary suspension has at least four torsion bars (20). Two torsion bars (20) each, in particular two torsion bars on one side of the chassis, are connected via a connecting element (21) in such a way that the torque of the torsion bars (20) oppose each other, in particular the torques essentially cancel each other out.

Abstract: A large-capacity vehicle is disclosed for transporting people, especially a rail vehicle. The vehicle includes carriages that are coupled by articulated connections, at least two of the carriages being respectively supported on a bogie or the undercarriage. All of the articulated connections enable the carriages to perform a turning movement about the vertical axis during cornering. For a vehicle that has more than three parts, at least one articulated connection is embodied in such a way that the vehicle can carry out pitching motions about the transversal axis in the event of dumping or tipping. One of the articulated connections includes a connection element that is embodied and connected to two carriages in such a way that pivoting and rolling motions can be carried out about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
