7. The motored bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the secondary suspensions ( 14 ) are arranged at the beams ( 2 ) and substantially in a middle thereof.

8. The motored bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that a stabilizer bar ( 44 ) is arranged between the two beams ( 2 ) and includes two connecting rods ( 46 ) arranged on either side of the beams ( 2 ), connected to the weight-bearing crosspiece ( 16 ).

9. The bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 2 , characterized in that two end supports ( 24 ) are rigidly fastened on the outer part ( 30 ) of the casing ( 6 ) situated above the motor shaft ( 12 ).

10. The bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 4 , characterized in that two stops ( 26 ) are rigidly fastened to a portion ( 42 ) of the weight-bearing crosspiece ( 16 ), said portion ( 42 ) being situated above the secondary suspensions ( 14 ).

11. The motored bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 5 characterized in that support faces ( 32 ) of the end supports ( 24 ) are oriented towards an outside of the bogie ( 1 ), and in that the support faces ( 32 ) of each end support ( 24 ) are oriented towards an inside of the bogie ( 1 ) such that the support faces ( 38 ) of the stops ( 26 ) are arranged opposite support faces ( 32 ) of the end supports ( 24 ).

12. The motored bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 10 , characterized in that the support faces ( 32 ) of the end supports ( 24 ) are oriented towards the outside of the bogie ( 1 ), and in that the support faces ( 32 ) of each end support ( 24 ) are oriented towards the inside of the bogie ( 1 ) such that the support faces ( 38 ) of the stops ( 26 ) are arranged opposite support faces ( 32 ) of the end supports ( 24 ).

13. The bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that an end support ( 24 ) includes an angle bracket having a base ( 28 ) rigidly fastened on an outer part ( 30 ) of the casing ( 6 ), and a support face ( 32 ) extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to the base ( 28 ).

14. The bogie ( 1 ) according to claim 13 , characterized in that two end supports ( 24 ) are rigidly fastened on the outer part ( 30 ) of the casing ( 6 ) situated above the motor shaft ( 12 ).
