    RFI - Type 93 Replacement/Removal of the tilting function
    description:
    Norske tog wishes to inform the market about an upcoming process for the procurement of replacement/removal of the class 93 tilting function. Class 93 is a diesel motor vehicle set that consists of two vehicles with traction on both vehicles. The train type is used as a local train / regional train on the Nordlandsbanen, Rørosbanen and Raumabanen. The train sets have low floors and active tilting. The entire fleet is experiencing operational problems with the tilting system due to technical errors and lack of parts. The tilting system is designed to optimize driving comfort and driving at increased speeds on conventional curvy track sections in order to shorten driving time. Norske tog wants to remove the tilting function and would like for the Suppliers to suggest an possible solution, as well as an indicative offer/pricing for the proposed solution.

How an AI agent should use this page

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.

How to use the search_doffin lookup

  1. Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
  2. Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
  3. Follow linked results to canonical pages before combining sources.

Misreading to avoid: An empty list means "no results for this lookup". An error message or unavailable source does not mean the data does not exist.

Source-specific next step

Go to the source page for other operations. Use the JSON template only after the HTML result shows that the parameters and source are correct.
