A gangway for a multi-car vehicle, the gangway comprising a bellows and an endframe, the bellows being attached to the endframe, wherein a crimping element is attached to the endframe, the crimping element having a crimping mouth, wherein a part of the bellows is inserted into the crimping mouth and held inside the crimping mouth, wherein the crimping mouth is defined by two sidewalls arranged next to each other and joined together at one of their ends by a bottom wall, wherein respective opposite ends of the two sidewalls are not joined together to provide an opening of the crimping mouth, and wherein the crimping mouth is designed to cause the part of the bellows that is held inside the crimping mouth to be pinched together by means of a pinching effect, the crimping element formed of a material having spring properties such that one of the two side walls can be moved away from the other one of the two side walls only by means of tensioning the two side walls against a restoring force provided by the spring properties of the crimping element.

The invention relates to a convolute for a bellows for a gangway, the convolute having an outer layer that extends from ⋅a first rim that is either arranged inwardly of further parts of the convolute or is arranged outwardly from further parts of the convolute ⋅via a curved section ⋅to a second rim, that is either arranged inwardly of further parts of the convolute or is arranged outwardly from further parts of the convolute, but is arranged on the same side relative to these further parts of the convolute than the first rim is, the outer layer having an inward facing surface that extends from the first rim via the inward facing surface of the curved section to the second rim, whereby an inner layer that has a first piece and a second piece, whereby ⋅the first piece has a first end that is attached to the outer layer in the region of the first rim and has a second end that is opposite the first end and that is arranged in the region of the inward facing surface of the curved section and ⋅the second piece has a first end that is attached to the outer layer in the region of the second rim and has a second end that is opposite the first end and that is arranged in the region of the inward facing surface of the curved section whereby the second end of the first piece overlaps the second piece in the region of the inward facing surface of the curved section and the second end of the second piece overlaps the first piece in the region of the inward facing surface of the curved section.

The invention relates to an articulated vehicle comprising a front and a rear vehicle unit, and at least one further vehicle unit connected to said rear vehicle unit, comprising a front vertical steering link arranged substantially centrally of the front vehicle unit, where said front vertical steering link is configured for pivotal attachment to a fixed load-carrying frame connecting said front and rear vehicle units, where said at least one further vehicle unit is configured for attachment to a further fixed load-carrying frame, where said further fixed load-carrying frame is releasably connectable to said fixed load-carrying frame for said connection, such that a train of vehicle units is formed connected to a load-carrying frame unit comprising said fixed load-carrying frame and said further fixed load-carrying frame.

An articulated electric bus includes two units with: a passenger compartment including a main floor forming a low and thin platform with a planar surface extending over the majority of the width of the passenger compartment, a wheel housing adjacent to the planar surface, a longitudinal row of seat places on the wheel housing, and a driving wheel which is housed in the wheel housing under the longitudinal row of seats. The driving wheel defines a rotation axis and includes an electric engine, and a rim with a rim top above the planar surface. The driving wheel is vertically movable with respect to the planar surface, and the wheel housing actually receives a pair or a couple of driving wheels.

A bellows assembly for an articulated vehicle connects a first vehicle module and a second vehicle module. The bellows assembly forms a tube between the first vehicle module and the second vehicle module with a top region and a bottom region, the top region corresponding to a roof region of the vehicle above an aisle of the vehicle. The bellows assembly includes a section configured to receive a lighting installation, the section being arranged in the top region of the bellows assembly. Further, an articulated vehicle with such a bellows assembly and a system for installing such a bellows assembly is described.

A gangway for connecting a first car with a second car and allowing passage of passengers from the first car to the second car, has a first hoop for attaching the gangway to the first car, a second hoop for attaching the gangway to the second car, a third hoop and a fourth hoop, the third and fourth hoops being arranged between the first hoop and the second hoop. A connection element is arranged between the third hoop and the fourth hoop and elastically connects the third hoop to the fourth hoop.
