Tram with suspended articulation

Type of tram

A tram with a suspended articulation is a type of tram or streetcar architecture with one or more articulations being suspended. Here, articulations work like a hinge joint and are not supported by a bogie. This is unlike the more common solution with an articulation resting on a special connecting bogie, called jacobs bogie. Seen from the side at ground level, the suspended joint seems to be 'floating' because the lack of wheels directly under the joint.
