The new NGT running gear design with independent suspension
The new NGT running gear design with independent suspension
The lightweight architecture, the drive motors and their control, the linear eddy current brakes and the two-stage suspension of the NGT running gear were developed at DLR. The structure and materials used in this high-tech running gear are optimised to be as light as possible, both in the load-bearing components and in the drive motors. Less weight reduces energy consumption and allows for more payload.
