Use is made of a dual rubber roll spring suspension arrangement in conjunction with lateral sliding blocks revealing an absence of longitudinal play and spring guides to cater for improved rail behaviour, all contributing to reduced noise emission and life cycle costs (LCC). Further noise reduction can be achieved by equipping the wheels with sound absorbers. Freight cars featuring this bogie comply with the EN 14363 requirements. The bogie is certified as an interoperability constituent in accordance with TSI.
