  • Such rail vehicles are known as sets of interconnected carriages and e.g. B. as a train, tram, subway, etc. in operation.
  • the trolleys of the sets were built as long and wide as possible.
  • Such trimmings require however, either essentially straight-line platforms or it remains between the Wagons and the platform edge a large space that allows getting in and out difficult and even dangerous or by additional and therefore expensive Measures such as extendable kicks must be bridged.
  • the width of long wagons should not be too large so that the limit line is not exceeded. This limits the number of passengers per set, including a limit is to be taken into account by the maximum possible length of the set.
  • a railcar train is known from DE-A-2 804 826 which has the smallest possible Tunnel cross-section required and also optimally maintenance and repair friendly is.
  • the railcar train consists of passenger compartments and are arranged in between Drives which carry device containers with the drive devices. Through the Separation of the drive units from the passenger cells can make the latter smaller without having to reduce the volume of the transport capacity.
