  • Publication number: 20200290654
    Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a fuel tank having a tank wall delimiting a tank interior space for storing fuel. At least portions of a first support are connected to the tank wall. A longitudinal support includes first and second longitudinal support portions being offset in longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The fuel tank is disposed in longitudinal direction between the first and second longitudinal support portions. The first support is coupled to the first and second longitudinal support portions. At least portions of the first support are disposed in the tank interior space in the longitudinal direction. The first support running in the longitudinal direction is disposed between the first and second longitudinal support portions. The first support is configured for fully transmitting a force acting between the first and second longitudinal support portions in longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20190106128
    Abstract: A rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, includes a railcar body having a head end provided with a front nose. The railcar body has an interface, in the region of the head end, which is configured and provided for fastening and connecting differently shaped front noses forming a set of variations. A front nose selected from the set of variations is thereby fastened to the interface by a welded connection. The rail vehicle therefore permits more flexibility in the shaping of the head end of the railcar body.

  • Publication number: 20190100221
    Abstract: A railway traction vehicle, in particular a locomotive, is provided for pulling at least one coupleable railway car, which may be a two-level car, having a car body with a car roof which defines a car height. The locomotive includes a vehicle body with a vehicle roof which defines a vehicle height. If the vehicle height is lower than the car height, a roof transition element is disposed on a rear-side end region of the vehicle body. Since the cross-sectional profile of the roof transition element expands from the front edge, which follows a contour line of the vehicle roof, to the rear edge, which follows a contour line of the car roof, the flow resistance in the transition region from the locomotive to the subsequent two-level car is reduced in a simple way, so that traction energy losses and vehicle noise can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20160221587
    Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a chassis, a vehicle structure and a support unit disposed at the end face of the rail vehicle. The vehicle is comparatively lightweight and economical and can also advantageously perform other tasks in addition to supporting a track reamer. The support unit includes a plateau section which is part of the vehicle structure and includes a climbing protection device on its end face and a track reamer holder for supporting a track reamer. The track reamer holder is disposed below the plateau section and is rigidly secured thereto.

  • Publication number: 20160214629
    Abstract: A rail vehicle has a bogie which rolls on a track in a direction of travel, a vehicle structure which is supported on the bogie, a rigid carrying structure which is arranged on the end side of the rail vehicle, and an end-side coupling opening through which a coupling extends for coupling further rail vehicles. A coupling securing device secures the coupling to the rail vehicle. The coupling securing device has reversible securing elements which permit a reversible lifting movement counter to the direction of travel to such an extent that the coupling is retracted completely into the supporting structure. As a result of the retraction of the coupling into the cage-like carrying structure it no longer influences the crash behavior.
