[origin: EP0879750A1] A bogie truck for a rail vehicle comprises a pair of spaced side frames (10), front and rear wheel and axle sets (17) extending transversely between the side frames and rotatable in bearing assemblies (20) which are connected by primary suspension means (23) to the side frames. A transverse bolster (11) is connected between the side frames and has a mounting, including secondary suspension means (32), for connection to the rail vehicle. The total vertical stiffness ofthe secondary suspension means (32) is greater than the total vertical stiffness of the primary suspension means (23). <IMAGE>
