An opening and closing device (2) has a flap (24) that is rotatably arranged on a hinged arm, and an actuator (72) to actuate the flap (24). The actuator (72) is coupled to a rotatable spindle (62) that is coupled to a flap actuating element (12). As the spindle (62) is rotated, a translational and rotational movement is performed to close and move the flap (24).

A latching assembly providing two options or systems for electric release output and timing, while keeping the two systems as common with one another as possible. A vehicle latching assembly, including: a housing; a release lever pivotally mounted to the housing; a first gear train for actuating the release lever, the first gear train includes a first worm and a first release gear the first worm meshingly engages the first release gear; and a second gear train for actuating the release lever, the second gear train being interchangeable with the first gear train, the second gear train includes a second worm and a second release gear the second worm meshingly engages the second release gear, wherein the second gear train applies a greater amount of force to the release lever than the first gear train.
