A sliding-type footrest device for a vehicle includes: a guide rail mounted on a floor panel and extending in a forward-and-backward direction; a footrest housing engaged with the guide rail to slide along the guide rail in the forward-and-backward direction, the footrest housing having a door configured to be opened or closed; and a footrest box disposed inside the footrest housing and allowing a backseat passenger to place feet into the footrest while the door is open.

Provided is a display device provided inside a vehicle. The display device includes: a display having flexibility and a sheet shape; a movement mechanism that includes a connection connected to a first end portion of the display and in which the connection moves in a direction intersecting a front-rear direction of the vehicle; and a guide mechanism configured to guide a second end portion of the display in a guide direction different from a movement direction of the connection in association with movement of the connection while curving and supporting a part of the display.

Frames for vehicles, such as buses or industrial transport vehicles, are provided which may be formed by a plurality of welded elements including ribs, cross members and uprights. At least one upright maybe formed by a first section bar welded to a second section bar, thereby forming a closed, hollow cross-section. Methods of making and using such frames are also provided.

A grille assembly for a motor vehicle includes a grille support mounted to the motor vehicle and a grille module carried on the grille support. The grille module includes a grille, and a plurality of electronic devices and a controller carried on the grille. A related modular grille assembly system includes the grille assembly as well as human interface controls and a control module carried on the motor vehicle.

A vehicle seat is provided with a seat pad formed of a foam material defining a seating surface for supporting an occupant and a rear surface opposite the seating surface. A speaker cavity for receiving a speaker assembly is formed in the pad and extends from the rear surface toward the seating surface. At least one speaker retention bracket is disposed in the speaker cavity. The retention bracket is co-molded with the pad so at least a portion of the retention bracket is encapsulated in foam material to retain the bracket in the cavity, the retention bracket having at least one retention feature extending within the cavity to cooperate with the speaker assembly and retain the speaker assembly in the pad. The speaker retention bracket is configured to mount a speaker assembly within the cavity to allow acoustic radiation to be transmitted through the foam material to a seated occupant.

A vehicle structure includes a vehicle frame, a beam, an attachment bracket. The vehicle frame has a first side member, a second side member and a cross-member rigidly fixed to each of the first and second side members and extending between the first and second side members. The beam extends rearward from a mid-portion of the cross-member with a gap being defined between the beam and the cross-member. The attachment bracket is rigidly fixed to the mid-portion of the cross-member and retaining the beam. The attachment bracket is configured to maintain the gap with the vehicle frame in a non-impacted state. The attachment bracket is further configured such that in response an impact event impacting a forward area of the vehicle frame, with impacting forces causing relative movement between the cross-member and the attachment bracket, the gap is diminished or closed.

A vehicle includes a body, a handle, and at least one connection site for the handle at which the handle is selectively connectable to the vehicle. The body defines a passenger compartment and a door opening, and includes a door over the door opening. The at least one connection site includes a home connection site on the door. When connected to vehicle at the home connection site, the handle, from its corresponding location on the door, is subject to being operated by a user to allow the door to open.

A vehicle engine compartment assembly includes an upper longitudinal beam and a front subframe disposed under the upper longitudinal beam. The vehicle engine compartment assembly further includes a middle longitudinal beam and a connecting supporting member. The middle longitudinal beam is disposed between the upper longitudinal beam and the front subframe. The connecting supporting member is connected to each of the middle longitudinal beam, the upper longitudinal beam and the front subframe. In the vehicle engine compartment assembly, the middle longitudinal beam is added between the upper longitudinal beam and the front subframe, and the upper longitudinal beam, the middle longitudinal beam and the front subframe are connected together to form a stable structure having a shape of . When the vehicle suffers collision at a high speed, the impact force is transferred through three load transfer paths to improve the energy absorption effect.
