Monomotor bogie information

A monomotor bogie (French: bogie monomoteur) is a form of traction bogie used for an electric locomotive or diesel-electric locomotive. It is distinguished...

A monomotor is a train design where a single traction motor powers two or three axles in the same bogie. Conventional bogie design involves either having...
