Vehicle with Anti-Roll Devices

Abstract

A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, having a vehicle longitudinal axis, a first body, a second body which is adjacent to the first body, a third body which is adjacent to the first body, a first anti-roll device which connects the first body and the second body, and a second anti-roll device which connects the first body and the third body. The anti-roll devices each counteract rolling motions between the bodies, which are connected via the anti-roll devices, about a roll axis parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis. The first anti-roll device and the second anti-roll device are coupled to each other via a coupling device, and are configured along with the coupling device in such a way that at least one first displacement on the first anti-roll device causes at least one second displacement on the second anti-roll device.
