Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0642964A1] Articulated double-deck train consisting of double-deck intermediate units and head units which are connected in an articulated fashion and can be coupled and decoupled. The double-deck intermediate units are provided at one end with a drivable single-axle bogey (6) or if desired with a non-driven single-axle bogey. The other end rests in the coupled state on the coupling component 14 of an articulated coupling on the following unit. In the uncoupled state, a double-deck intermediate unit is supported on a lowerable bogey with preferably drivable wheel flange rollers. Various types of double-deck intermediate units are present. The essential ones are a double-deck passenger unit (1), a double-deck passenger entry unit (4) and a double-deck entry unit. Double-axle double-deck head units with their own drive, driver's cab and current collector are present as the start and end of the train. With the existing double-deck intermediate units and head units, double-deck articulated trains can be made up with various combinations corresponding to their use, dismantled again and reformed because the coupling used is designed as a disconnectable articulated coupling. <IMAGE>
