Abstract (en)
A running gear for low-floor (4) rail vehicles comprising at least two bodies (1, 2) each having two independent steering respectively outer and inner axles (5, 6), and a tow bar (3) pivotally interconnecting the two bodies (1, 2). Drive means (14, 15) are provided for operating curve-steering of the inner axle (5) of each body (1, 2) through the relative angular displacement between the tow bar (3) and the bodies (1, 2), and as a function of such angular displacement. Transmission means (19) transmit opposite steering from the inner axles (5) to the outer axles (6) of the two bodies (1, 2). The drive means may include two trapezoid-linkage mechanisms (14, 15) or a flying lever mechanism (28), and the vehicle may comprise three or more bodies. <MATH>
