Provided is a shutter device for a vehicle, in which a manufacturing cost is reduced.

A method of manufacturing a shutter device (1) for a vehicle, which adjusts an amount of air flowing from an outside of a vehicle surface to an inside thereof, includes steps of: preparing an upper base (11), a lower base (12), and a pillar (13) independently from one another; and mounting an upper portion of the pillar (13) on the upper base (11), mounting a lower portion of the pillar (13) on the lower base (12), and thereby assembling a frame member (10).

An all-terrain vehicle has an air ventilation system positioned adjacent a rearmost point of the front ground engaging members and directing air rearwardly through an engine compartment, wherein the air ventilation system includes at least one air scoop adjacent a front of the vehicle for directing the air. In addition, an ATV is disclosed having a rear rack having an integral storage bin, where the storage bin is one piece with the rear rack. The storage bin is sealed.

The invention relates to a device for regulating an air flow intended to circulate through a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, the device including at least one shutter capable of moving in an opening and closing direction between a closed position preventing the passage of the air flow and an open position allowing the passage of the air flow, the shutter being arranged to wind and unwind around a winding shaft, the device including a kinematic assembly for moving the shutter in the closing and opening direction, said kinematic assembly having at least one portion of the shutter.

An air inlet shut-off device for a motor vehicle having: a support frame defining a passage opening for an incoming air flow, a curtain movable between a closed position and an open position, an automatic return system for the curtain having: an elastic element which is elastic in elongation along the rolling axis of the roller shaft and secured to the latter in such a way as to be rotated and vice versa; a cylindrical slider intended to move in translation along the rolling axis and in rotation about this same axis, said slider being secured to the elastic element in such a way as to be rotated indirectly by the roller shaft, said slider including a helical groove on its outer surface, the support frame including a fixed finger configured to be inserted in said helical groove.

A front fender is provided in front of an air-cooled engine which is a drive source of a motorcycle. An air introduction hole which opens frontward is formed at a front part of a cylinder head of the air-cooled engine. A space around a plug attachment portion for a spark plug and a space in front of the cylinder head communicate with each other through the air introduction hole. A guide portion for guiding incoming wind toward the air introduction hole is formed at a rear part of the front fender.

A control unit is presented for controlling a driving unit arranged for adjustment of one or more first air guiding flaps of a motorised vehicle between a first outer position and a second outer position. The control unit comprises a communication module for communicating with a vehicle control network for receiving first adjustment instructions for adjusting the first flap, a power supply module comprising an input power terminal for receiving power from a vehicle power network and a first output power terminal for supplying a first current to the driving unit. The control unit further comprises a current sensor module for sensing variations in the first supply current and a control module arranged to control the first supply current in accordance with the adjustment instructions and the sensed variations. By separating the control module from the driving unit, functionality of the control module may be shared over multiple driving units.

A system and method of controlling components of a vehicle are disclosed. The method includes the steps of sensing a current position of a rear closure panel with a closure panel position sensor, sensing a speed of the vehicle with a speed sensor, and sensing a current environmental condition with an environmental precipitation sensor. The method also includes adjusting a degree of openness of at least one window as a result of the closure panel position sensor indicating that the rear closure panel is in an open position, the speed sensor indicating that a speed of the vehicle is greater than zero kilometers per hour (kph), and the current environmental condition that is indicated by the environmental precipitation sensor.

A truck or tractor semi-trailer combination interconnected via a fifth wheel, comprising a cabin and an air collection chamber, the air collection chamber provided between a rear end of the cabin and the semi-trailer and having a front wall substantially adjacent or identical to a cabin rear wall, and a rear wall distanced and substantially coplanar to the front wall, which air collection chamber is provided with an air accession structure and a heat exchanger, the air accession structure providing air access to the air collection chamber and towards the heat exchanger, said heat exchanger provided in the rear wall of the air collection chamber extending at least partly over a width of the truck and wherein said air accession structure comprises air accession side ports provided on the side walls of the air collection chamber designed to provide at least a passive air flow from the air accession side ports towards the heat exchanger.
