ABSTRACT:
A bogie arrangement for self-propelled high-speed rail vehicles with at least two driving bogies supporting the vehicle body. Each of the driving bogies is powered by at least one electric motor and supports the vehicle body by a spring system while having a common pivot point with the vehicle body. The rotor of the fully spring-cushioned and transversely extending motor is operatively connected to the driving wheel set through the intervention of a transmission and a cardan quill shaft having elastic articulated bearings. The motor is held in the space between the wheel set axle and the vertical central transverse plane of the bogie transversely swingably on the understructure of the vehicle body. The longitudinally acting forces of the motor are transmitted by at least one link of considerable length from the housing of the motor to the adjacent frame section of the vehicle.
