A door device for the interior of a passenger transport vehicle, and a passenger transport vehicle having at least one door device. The device includes a double-leaf sliding door with a first door leaf and a second door leaf in one plane. The door device has an upper guide for the first door leaf and an upper guide for the second door leaf. The guides are parallel with one another, and at least the upper guide for the first door leaf is offset with respect to the plane of the first and the second door leaf.

The railway vehicle comprises at least one end car, each arranged at a respective end of the railway vehicle, and, for each end car, a first car adjacent to this end car, and at least one second car, one of which is adjacent to the first car. Each second car comprises a second structural body. Each first car comprises a first structural body substantially identical to the second structural body of each second car, and a structural extension part attached on the first structural body and intended to be connected to the adjacent end car.

A rail vehicle (1), a method of producing and method of driving the rail vehicle (1) which comprises at least one car body (2). The car body (2) comprises two car body ends (3, 4) the end region of which is supported on a respective wheel unit (5, 6). At least one wheel unit (5, 6) is designed to be driven. The rail vehicle comprises a drive arrangement comprising a transformer unit (7), a traction motor unit (9) and a power converter unit (8). The primary transformer unit (7) and primary power converter unit (8) are arranged adjacent the first wheel unit (5). The primary transformer unit (7) and the primary power converter unit (8) are connected to the second wheel unit (6) such that a traction motor unit (9), of the second wheel unit (6), can be driven by the primary transformer unit and the primary power converter unit.

A train made up of a plurality of rail vehicles, each rail vehicle including a body defining an upper level able and intended to accommodate and transport passengers, and a lower level intended to load, transport and unload freight, the lower level having a lower floor defined by the body. An assembly of such a train, and a station able to receive the train in a stopped position allowing travelers to embark and disembark.

According to a railcar, a fuse member that couples a first end beam to a second end beam along a car longitudinal direction is formed as a channel material with an approximately U-shaped cross-section, including a web disposed to extend along the car longitudinal direction and a pair of flanges disposed upright from both end portions of this web. Accordingly, when a load received in collision exceeds a predetermined value, the fuse member buckles to allow the first end beam to move toward the second end beam to ensure reducing variation of the load that allows the first end beam to move toward the second end beam. Consequently, when the intended load is input, the first end beam is allowed to move toward the second end beam.

A railway vehicle car includes a lower level and an upper level that are separated by an intermediate floor. The intermediate floor defines an opening emerging on the upper level and on the lower level, and also defines a bridge extending at least partially along the opening. The bridge connects a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end of the car on the upper level. The circulation of passengers is blocked on the lower level at least at one of the first and second longitudinal ends. The car provides for dining for travelers. The lower level includes a preparation area and a dining area, with the preparation area extending continuously between a first side wall and a second side wall of the car, over an entire width of the lower level.
