The present invention provides a control module (10) for controlling powered operation of a platform (2) for a vehicle compartment (101) that is movable between a first position in which the platform engages a moveable structure (102) of the vehicle (100) and a second position; wherein the control module (10) is configured to control movement of the platform (2) from the second position to the first position by first controlling a powered actuation means (5) to move the platform (2) from the second position through the first position and into a third position, and then controlling the powered actuation means (5) to move the platform (2) from the third position into contact with the moveable structure (102) to thereby bring the platform (2) into the first position.

A delivery container is designed to fit into the rear passenger compartment of a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle (AV) that makes deliveries without a human driver. The delivery container has a drawer that can move from one side of the delivery container near a first rear door to the other side of the delivery near the opposite rear door. A single load of items can be accessed from the same side of the AV, or two different loads may be accessed from the same side. The drawer can automatically or manually move items from one side of the vehicle to the other.

A modular vehicle system configured to improve storage of a vehicle including one or more rear doors, including at least one modular column configured to provide a vertical surface for mounting various attachments thereto, the at least one column including a first component and a second component, wherein the first component and the second component are slidable relative to one another to span a distance between a floor of the vehicle and a ceiling of the vehicle inside of the one or more rear doors.

A movement device for a luggage compartment flap having a mounting arm for the mounting of a luggage compartment flap. The movement device furthermore includes an actuator which is coupled to the second section the mounting arm and which is configured to, when activated, move the mounting arm such that the luggage compartment flap is moved at least part of the way from an open position to a closed position. As a result of this movement of the luggage compartment flap, the latter can be more easily reached and, for example, moved manually into its closed position. Also provided are a luggage compartment having a movement device, a vehicle region having a multiplicity of luggage compartments, and a vehicle having at least one movement device.

A storage assembly for a vehicle. The storage assembly includes a storage receptacle, a lid being configured for moving between a closing position in which it closes the storage receptacle and an open position, a sealing arrangement being positioned at the storage receptacle or at the lid such that in the closing position of the lid, the sealing arrangement seals the storage receptacle with respect to the lid, and a closing facilitation mechanism being configured for reducing a force for bringing the lid into the closing position from the open position. Moreover, a vehicle is presented which includes such a storage assembly. Additionally, a method for closing a lid of a storage assembly of a vehicle is presented.

A luggage board device for a vehicle is configured to adjust a height of a partition board, which is composed of a front board, an intermediate board, and a rear board, through movements of the partition board in a vertical direction, in a state in which the partition board is horizontally unfolded, be utilized as a multi-stage shelf like a step shape by rotating the front board and the rear board up and down with the intermediate board as a reference, and be utilized as a table in indoor and outdoor spaces of a luggage room.

An automobile having a cargo space, a rear door opening for accessing the cargo space and a door pillar which delimits the rear door opening. The vehicle has a rack which in a stowed state is arranged entirely in the cargo space and is at least partially concealed by the door pillar as viewed from outside the automobile in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis of the automobile, and in a deployed state is arranged at least partially outside the cargo space. The vehicle has a transfer mechanism to transfer the rack between the stowed state and the deployed state via the rear door opening, wherein the transfer mechanism is configured such that, during a transfer of the rack from the stowed state into the deployed state, the rack moves inward in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis of the automobile.
