Variable-gauge bogie of AVE-120 001 set. This bogie is based upon the BRAVA system developed by CAF. As on RD system of Talgo (and unlike SUW2000 of PKP), wheels are unloaded when changing gauges, hence these little shoes which slide on supporting rails.

Clearance data, seen down carbodies of AVE-120.001 set. One can notice that these fleet is to run Spain only, as there is no gauge-changer compatible with CAF-BRAVA on the French border, and while even with standard-gauge throughout, these sets may not fit in the UIC loading-gauge... They won't be able to run in Portugal, either, at least not until Medina del Campo-Villar Formoso has been wired up. One can also see that these sets are classified as 250N. This is to apply only to HSLs. On conventional lines (3kV), these sets will be cleared as 220A, as AVE-101s (Euromed). Photo by Diego Roque (bpt@tranvia.org) (Acknowledgements).
