Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a rail vehicle unit comprising a running gear frame (104) of a running gear, a supported vehicle component (111), and a traction linkage element (112.1), the running gear frame (104) defining a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a height direction. The running gear frame (104) is substantially H-shaped and comprises two longitudinal beams (104.2) and one transverse beam (104.1) providing a structural connection between the longitudinal beams (104.2) in the transverse direction. The supported vehicle component (111) is supported on the running gear frame (104) via a spring unit. The supported vehicle component (111) and the running gear frame (104) are connected in the longitudinal direction via the traction linkage element (112.1), a first end of the traction linkage element (112.1), in a first articulation location, being articulated to the running gear frame (104) and a second end of the traction linkage element (112.1), in a second articulation location, being articulated to the supported vehicle component (111). The transverse beam (104.1) is a substantially box shaped element formed by a plurality of wall elements (104.3 to 104.6), the traction linkage element (112.1) being received within the transverse beam (104.1) and being connected to a console element (113). The console element (113) reaches into the transverse beam (104.1) and is connected to the supported vehicle component (111).
