Tram Nevelo 126N is unique due to its panoramic windscreen and a four bogies support.
For this vehicle, brand new bogies were designed, in particular both motor and trailing bogies have their own internal frames fitted with
- typical wheel and axle sets with rims and rubber stoppers which provide high levels of ride comfort and reduced noise levels;
- a swing bolster attached to the bogie frame through a set of metal and rubber springs;
- individual drive to each axle provided by an independent power unit, each consisting of an asynchronous traction motor and an intersecting axis gear with flexible coupling suspended on the bogie frame
- modern active and passive electro-hydraulic disc brakes.
Operating and maintenance costs
Using four pivoting bogies with large-size bearings allowed for a significant reduction in operating and maintenance costs of both the vehicle and the infrastructure. The bogie arrangement minimises the axle load on the rails, which significantly reduces wheel and rail wear.
The modern drive system with asynchronous traction engines and electronic controls ensures the tram’s smooth start and energy recovery to the overhead system while braking. The vehicle is equipped with a modern on-board diagnostic system.
Vehicle fronts have in-built elements absorbing energy created in the event of collisions and crashes.
