The AMIII bogie became operational in 1998 and conforms to UIC, UK Rail Group and TSI standards. The AMIII can therefore replace conventional bogies and may be used to upgrade older wagons.
Compared to the UIC standard bogie (Y25), the AMIII has improved damping, radial wheel steering and a stiff H-frame.
