In first order it refers to increasing transportation speed and services quality. Very important condition for that is improvement of the technical-exploitation characteristics of the railway vehicles. This article deals with the railway vehicles and their characteristics, which are to be developed in the future. Attention is paid to the possibilities of technical improvements regarding engine, propulsion technique, braking methods, case design and energy transmission. Some conceptual solutions are given that should be implemented in the future, as well as solutions that have been recently implemented and represent useful technical improvements.
