The main topic of this article is the construction of a railway bogie, which was used in authors’ concept of suspended rail vehicle. Firstly, the vehicle was briefly described with particular consideration of the parameters determining the bogie design. Subsequently, constructional solutions were described in terms of individual bogie subassemblies, like: wheelsets, bogie frame, two stage suspension, propulsion and brake systems. This article is based on authors’ master thesis: „The concept of suspended railway engine wagon”, conducted on Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Gdansk University of Technology.
