The invention discloses a bogie for an A-type broad-gauge metro vehicle. The bogie comprises a frame, a wheelset and axle box device, a primary suspension device, a secondary suspension device, a central traction device, a foundation brake device, a driving device and a rim lubrication device. The bogie is characterized in that the frame has a large lateral span, the primary suspension adopts a rubber spring, the secondary suspension adopts an air spring, a secondary vertical damper and a horizontal damper to reduce vibration and impact, so that a passenger sits more conformably, two traction rods are adopted between a vehicle body and the bogie for transferring traction and braking force, and the foundation brake device adopts a wheel mounted type disc brake unit. The bogie meets requirements for a Brazil 1A metro project contract, and the bogie for the A-type broad-gauge metro vehicle, which meets requirements for a dual-mode signal system, is researched for the first time; the gauge is 1600 mm and the axle load is 17.5 tons; the bogie has the advantages of high operation quality and convenience for maintenance and can be widely applied to the foreign market.
