Powered rail vehicle, in particular for local and regional passenger transport

摘要

A driven rail vehicle, in particular for the transportation of people in local and regional traffic, is equipped with at least one electric traction motor (1) which is fed via a stationary line network (2) or by a generator (4) coupled to an internal combustion engine (3). The internal combustion engine (3) and the generator (4) are combined to form a drive assembly by a mounting element (5) that can be connected on the vehicle side. The mounting element (5), which is designed like a container and accommodates at least the internal combustion engine (3) and the generator (4), can be inserted into the vehicle through an existing opening (6) in the vehicle outer wall (9), preferably through a door opening (6 ' ).
