The TF25E is an innovative hydraulically damped bogie for axle loads up to 25 tonnes and can operate at a maximum speed of 120 KPH.

Based on the same principles of the UK approved TF25 which entered operations in 1999, two complementing suspension components make the TF25E distinctive - a soft primary suspension comprising of hydraulically damped coil springs and a stiff secondary suspension using rubber bonded side-bearers. The TF25E bogie has undergone
a successful program of testing in Germany in accordance with EN14363 (UIC518/UIC518-2) with speeds up to 120km/h and axle loads up to 25t. This will enable wagon designers to specify the TF25E in combination with a wide range of wagon types without the need for further dynamic testing.

The TF25E will have Interoperability Constituent status (in accordance with the TSI) and EBA approval.

The TF25E has the following advantages:

• Tested to EN14363 (UIC518/UIC518-2)
