A dump truck includes: a main frame that extends in a front-back direction of a vehicle body; an engine installed on the main frame; an exhaust aftertreatment device that is supported by the main frame and purifies exhaust gas from the engine; and a communication pipe having a first end connected to the engine and a second end connected to the exhaust aftertreatment device, in which the exhaust gas discharged from the engine flows to the exhaust aftertreatment device. The communication pipe includes: an upstream pipe extending from the engine to a lateral side thereof; a bellows pipe angularly connected to the upstream pipe and extending in an up-down direction; and a downstream pipe angularly connected to the bellows pipe.

A vehicle includes a body, a removable cab, a cargo movement subsystem, and a computing device. The removable cab is attachable to the body. The computing device includes a processor and a memory. The computing device is programmed to actuate at least one vehicle subsystem to move the vehicle to deliver cargo stored in the cab and the cargo movement subsystem move the cargo. The cargo movement subsystem is arranged to move the cargo from the cab to a position accessible from an exterior of the vehicle.

A component supplier of the present disclosure includes a magazine that stores pallets, a table that is provided in front of the magazine and is provided with a standby tables in multiple tiers in an up-and-down direction, a first lift that moves the table up and down, and a pallet supplier that is provided in front of the table and that includes a supply table which holds at least one of the pallets at a component supply position where the component is supplied. The table has a first placing and withdrawing unit that places and withdraws the pallet between the magazine and the standby tables and a second lift that moves the first placing and withdrawing unit up and down. The pallet supplier has a second placing and withdrawing unit that places and withdraws the pallet between the standby tables and the supply table.

A seed carrier includes a main hopper coupled with a frame via leg members. The main hopper has a discharge. A base plate is coupled with the frame. A support arm is rotatably coupled with the base plate at a first end. A belt driven conveyor having a conveyor hopper at a first end and a discharge at a second end is rotatably coupled with a second end of said support arm at an approximate center of gravity thereof. A latch mechanism is provided for detachably coupling the first end of the conveyor with the first end of the support arm such that the conveyor hopper is position below the main hopper discharge. When the conveyor is uncoupled from the first end of the support arm, the conveyor can rotate to a loading position wherein the discharge thereof can be positioned over the main hopper.

A deployment assembly is mounted in a delivery vehicle and holds an autonomous robot that can be deployed to deliver or pick up packages. The assembly has a base and extendable members that move the robot from a retracted position inside the vehicle and an extended position outside the vehicle. The assembly also has securement features that hold the robot in during transport and can also recharge the robot if necessary.

An autonomous grain cart includes a width less than or equal to a distance from an end of the header of an agricultural vehicle to a lateral side of the agricultural vehicle, wherein the end and the lateral side are on a same longitudinal side of a lateral centerline of the agricultural vehicle, wherein the autonomous grain cart is configured to receive grain from the agricultural vehicle. The autonomous grain cart also includes a controller, comprising a processor and a memory. The autonomous grain cart further includes a drive system communicatively coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to instruct the drive system to propel the autonomous grain cart. The autonomous grain cart also includes a steering system communicatively coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to instruct the steering system to steer the autonomous grain cart.

An electrically driven, movable underground vehicle and a method for operating the same, includes a chassis with at least two driven drive wheels, an electrical trailing cable for connection to an electrical supply network, an electric drive motor, which is electrically connected to the trailing cable, for driving the drive wheels, and an energy storage unit. The vehicle further includes an auxiliary drive motor with a subsequent hydraulic fluid transmission, a switchgear assembly and a processor for controlling the supply of the electric drive motor and the electric auxiliary drive motor with electrical energy. The drive motor directly drives the drive wheels while bypassing the hydraulic fluid transmission. Also, the energy provided by the energy storage unit is sufficient for driving the drive wheels and for temporarily moving the load-haul-dump machine independently of the supply network.
