Considerable efforts are undertaken to make travelling by rail more attractive by better comfort and higher travel speeds. This will be possible by developing top performance bogies having creep-controlled wheelsets. These improved bogies permit stabilization of wheelset running by a controlled torque transmission from one wheel to another. The main purpose of this system is to increase the critical speed and to simultaneously reduce wear and tear. MBB has made an extensive development effort in this field of railway technology.
