Project results evaluation

The eurobogie is a novel form of railway which utilities fully the advatages of working with glass fibre (GRP) composites. This is great advantage of emitting less noise of any other freight bogie because there is no noise path from the wheel/rail interface to the wagon body. There is necessary to improve in accordance with dynamic stability and function of track quality
