Line quality

Bucharest network

Influences the bogie choice The non-quality of the line may impose:

Robust bogie, to absorb the vibrations and chocks

Double suspension stage, to limit the vibration transmission to

the carbody and guaranty a ride comfort for passengers

Articulated bogie frame in case of important twist

.

Rotterdam network

1,652 Citadis sold since 1997
