Nowadays much favtheed by tramcar or light rail vehicle (LRV) designers. Also used on some European high speed train designs. It has the benefit of reducing the number of bogies required for a train. Generally only suitable for lighter weight vehicles since the load on each axle is proportionally increased. Usually requires special lifting systems to be provided in maintenance workshops.
