Bogie types (Switzerland)

The aim here is to show in chronological order which bogie types were used on Swiss railroad cars. This subject area of ​​Swiss wagon construction is not documented in great detail, but above all the manufacturers' official type designations are often missing. Where these type designations are not known, a designation consisting of the manufacturer and the first known year of construction is used, followed by an asterisk (*). The spelling with a space or hyphen is inconsistent, and both spellings are often found in the manufacturer's documents for the same type of bogie. A hyphen is always used here for the sake of uniformity.

Manufacturer

Most of the bogies were made by before the turn of the millennium

• SIG Neuhausen
• SWS Schlieren
• SWP Pratteln
• FFA Altenrhein

Due to the restructuring in vehicle construction, it has been the global providers since then

• Bombardier (legal successor to SWP / SWS)
• Stadler (including the former FFA plant), with a new bogie plant in Winterthur
• Alstom (including former SIG)
• Siemens

The internationally standardized types are predominantly used for freight wagons; there are only a few special features in the narrow-gauge railways sector. Freight carriage bogies were and are manufactured by

• the above-mentioned companies SIG, SWS, SWP and FFA
• Company Josef Meyer Waggon AG from Rheinfelden
