ABSTRACT
The requirements imposed on modernized and new rail vehicles are increasing. They are
related to safety and environmental protection, and aimed at improving the travel
operational parameters and comfort. Therefore, the weight reduction of rail vehicles
plays an increasingly important role in the designing process. The paper presents the
construction of the chassis of modern passenger coaches and specification of the masses
of particular components of the coach chassis. The directions of development of the
passenger coach chassis are proposed, with a view to reduce its weight.
