Bogie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In mechanics terms, a bogie is a chassis or framework carrying wheels, attached to a vehicle. |
 | | A bogie in the UK, or a wheel truck, or simply truck in the U.S., is a structure underneath a train to which wheel axles (and, hence, wheels) are attached through bearings. |
 | | Tram bogies are much simpler in design because of lighter axle load, this and tighter curves that are found on tramways means that tram bogies almost never have more than two axles. |
