The RTK23 features an all-steel welded, fully load-bearing car body that integrates underframe, side walls, roof, and interior systems including thermal insulation, water supply, and luggage racks. It is equipped with a rubber windshield compliant with TB/T 3094 and an apron meeting UIC standards, alongside an MCA-PH coupler buffer device (A end: HOOK, B end: YOKE).
For braking, the car uses a dual-pipe system: one for vacuum braking and one for air braking. The air braking system adopts Knorr technology, conforming to UIC 540 standards. Its power generation system includes a diesel generator set with supporting cooling, fuel, starting, and lubrication systems, ensuring continuous power output. The Bombardier MD52-M type bogie delivers stable running performance, with a 1000 mm gauge, 10 t axle load, and 109 m minimum curve radius enabling smooth operation on narrow-gauge rail networks at speeds up to 80 km/h.
