The paper starts by dealing with the develeopment tendencies of modern road vehicles and their characteristica. The emphasis is on the issues of reducing enviromental pollution, conventional fuel consuption, and of reducing traffic injuries, at the same time increasing riding comfort, vehicle quality, easier and better vehicle maintenance, and lower cost of vehicles and their maintenance. The second deals with the railway vehicles and their charcteristics 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.
