Bogies

We develop, design and manufacture-bogies for hydraulic or electric power transmission in two- or three-axle configurations, suitable for various maximum speeds and different wheel-set load including disc or block brake systems.
The bogies are robust and easily maintainable. FEM computations allow us to produce a bogie/chassis with an optimum weight. Running stability and comfort are optimised by the application of computerised calculations to meet present-day service conditions. This leads to considerably reduced rail-wheel forces, even in tight curves.
Due to Vossloh Locomotives suspension system featuring no sliding parts, an excellently matched primary suspension of the bogies and a wear-free guide system, the bogies meet the highest requirements with respect to reliability and running characteristics.
