A bogie of a rail vehicle has at least one wheelset with two oppositely situated wheels that are rigidly connected to one another, a wheelset bearing arrangement of the wheelset within the two wheels, a traction motor which directly drives the wheelset, and an aerodynamic paneling enclosure of the bogie. The traction motor is a permanently excited synchronous motor with liquid cooling.

A railway traction vehicle, in particular a locomotive, is provided for pulling at least one coupleable railway car, which may be a two-level car, having a car body with a car roof which defines a car height. The locomotive includes a vehicle body with a vehicle roof which defines a vehicle height. If the vehicle height is lower than the car height, a roof transition element is disposed on a rear-side end region of the vehicle body. Since the cross-sectional profile of the roof transition element expands from the front edge, which follows a contour line of the vehicle roof, to the rear edge, which follows a contour line of the car roof, the flow resistance in the transition region from the locomotive to the subsequent two-level car is reduced in a simple way, so that traction energy losses and vehicle noise can be reduced.

A rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, includes a railcar body having a head end provided with a front nose. The railcar body has an interface, in the region of the head end, which is configured and provided for fastening and connecting differently shaped front noses forming a set of variations. A front nose selected from the set of variations is thereby fastened to the interface by a welded connection. The rail vehicle therefore permits more flexibility in the shaping of the head end of the railcar body.

A fairing for arrangement between two vehicle parts, in particular of a rail vehicle, movably connected to one another, having at least one fairing element that is arranged at a respective vehicle part, that is elastically deformable, and that has a U-shaped or arcuate cross-section. The fairing also has at least one stabilization body that extends at least sectionally into the fairing element and extends from at least one front face of the fairing element.

A trim assembly having at least a first trim part fora vehicle, wherein the trim assembly is connected to an undercarriage of the vehicle via a bearing device, and wherein in order to create advantageous design conditions, the bearing device includes at least a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, which are each connected to at least one component coupled to a first wheelset or a first wheelset bearing system of the undercarriage, the at least first trim part is mounted in an articulated manner with respect to a first bearing transverse axis of the undercarriage via the at least first bearing, and the at least first trim part is mounted with mechanical decoupling with respect to directions of motion parallel to an undercarriage longitudinal plane via the second bearing and the third hearing such that mechanical loads acting on the trim assembly are thereby reduced.
