The workability during fabrication of an underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle is improved by reducing the steps of fabrication. An underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle comprises truck enclosures detachably mounted at positions where trucks are mounted in the undersurface of the underframe to enclose the periphery of the trucks, and an enclosure for underfloor equipment for enclosing the sides and lower surface of the underfloor equipment. A method of assembling an underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle comprises mounting a wiring duct and underfloor equipment on the undersurface of an underframe, conducting wiring work between the wiring duct and the underfloor equipment, and thereafter mounting an enclosure for underfloor equipment.
An underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle having at least first and second trucks, comprising first and second truck enclosure units located in spaced relation and respectively enclosing said first and second trucks of said vehicle, each of said first and second truck enclosure units having side, front and rear surfaces that surround the periphery of its associated truck of said monorail vehicle with each of said two side surfaces of each unit being located in the same plane as a side of a body of the monorail vehicle, and said first and second truck enclosing units each having an upper frame through which the units are mounted to a frame of said monorail vehicle;
An underfloor construction a monorail vehicle comprising:
