TRIALS BY SNCF OF A NEW BOGIE DESIGNED FOR VERY HIGH SPEEDS

The Y226 bogie design with a body-suspended drive studied by SNCF, built by industry in 12 months, and applied to a multiple-unit power car remodelled to run as a self- sufficient vehicle incorporating a mobile laboratory. The Y226 embodies newly-developed primary suspension and secondary suspension adapted from the RTG which is giving such good results at 300 km/h as to promote their application to the TGV concept for the Paris-Lyons high- speed line, both for gas-turbine and electric traction.
