A vehicle includes a turbine engine. The turbine engine is mounted on a frame member on a front side of the vehicle and has a turbine engine body and an exhaust pipe coupled to a rear side of the turbine engine body in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. A fragile part configured to be crushed more easily than another part of the exhaust pipe is formed in the exhaust pipe on the turbine engine body side.

Work machines, drive assemblies for work machines, and methods of measuring torque of a driven component of a work machine are disclosed herein. A work machine includes a frame structure, a rotational power source supported by the frame structure, and a driven component supported by the frame structure that is coupled to the rotational power source to receive rotational power therefrom in use of the work machine. The driven component extends between a first end and a second end arranged opposite the first end. Additionally, the work machine includes a first encoder system coupled to the first end of the driven component, a second encoder system coupled to the second end of the driven component, and a control system supported by the frame structure that includes a controller communicatively coupled to the first encoder system and the second encoder system.

The general layout for a front wheel drive, three-wheeled vehicle with two steerable driven wheels in the front of the vehicle, and the motor or motors located in the mid-section of the vehicle. The vehicle is designed for compact motors, in-hub motors, and direct connect motors which allow a significant portion of the vehicle's weight to be moved forward, while integrating location of the passenger seating, steering, and driven wheels allows for a highly stable vehicle. The layout maintains the traditional bucket or bench style seats as found in today's automobiles, and yet allows for weighting and cockpit adaptability for different market demographics.

The present invention provides a composite structure comprising a translucent layer (1) having a light transmittance of 1 to 50%, an opaque layer (2) containing a translucent area (6), and a touch sensor area (5) that is at least partly arranged in or above or below the translucent area of layer (2). The present invention also provides a method of producing the composite structure. The composite structure can be used to replace conventional buttons in motor vehicles.

An all-terrain or utility vehicle includes an audio system having at least one speaker. The at least one speaker is positioned at a forward portion of the operator area and is supported by a body panel. More particularly, the body panel may be configured to receive at least a portion of the speaker as well as at least a portion of an upper frame assembly. In this way, the speaker is positioned to direct sound towards the rider, is generally concealed from a front view of the vehicle, and is positioned within available space on the vehicle above at least a portion of the door.

A car having: a frame; two rear drive wheels; two rear suspensions, which support the two rear wheels; a drivetrain having two axle shafts, which transmit the motion to the rear drive wheels; a rear subframe, which is fixed to the frame in four fixing points through the interposition of elastic isolating elements, directly supports at least part of the drivetrain, and provides a coupling for the rear suspensions. The four fixing points are substantially arranged at the same vertical height. The frame has two “C”-shaped elements, each having its two ends in the area of two fixing points. Two stiffening beams are provided, each arranged longitudinally and screwed to the frame in the area of the ends of a corresponding “C”-shaped element.
