RAIL VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FOR LOCAL TRAFFIC

摘要

The rail vehicle, especially for a streetcar or metropolitan transit car for local traffic, includes a car body (1) and undercarriage (2) connected with each other by at least one guide rod (3) extending in a longitudinal direction. The connector member (3a) of each guide rod (3) facing the car body (1) and a receptacle (4) for it attached to the car body (1) can be arranged together in the central plane (M) of the undercarriage (2) extending perpendicularly to the vehicle longitudinal axis (L). The connector member (3a) of each guide rod (3) facing the car body (1) can alternatively be spaced a distance (a) from the central plane (M) of the undercarriage (2). In this latter case the car body end of the receptacle (4) is equipped with a connector piece (4a) for spanning this distance (a), which is screwed on the receptacle (4) either in front of or behind the central plane (M) in a direction along the vehicle longitudinal axis (L).
