Abstract
The present invention relates to a running gear of a rail vehicle defining a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a height direction, the running gear comprising a first wheel unit () and a second wheel unit () defining a wheel unit axle distance, a running gear frame () supported on the first wheel unit () and the second wheel unit (), and a first drive unit () driving the first wheel unit (). The first drive unit () comprises a first reaction moment support unit () connected to the running gear frame () at a first support location to balance a drive moment exerted onto the first wheel unit () by the first drive unit (). The first support location, in the transverse direction, is laterally offset from a center of the running gear frame (). The first support location, in the longitudinal direction, is located at a first support location distance from a first wheel unit axle of the first wheel unit (), which is at least 35% of the wheel unit axle distance.
