A bracket for a hose of a vehicle system. The bracket having a hook and a mounting segment. The hook allows free movement of the hose while cradling the hose to prevent the hose from rubbing against abrasive or high temperature surfaces. The mounting segment includes an anti-rotation segment which abuts a mounting point to prevent rotation of the bracket. The bracket also includes gussets which reinforce the bending resistance of the bracket.

A vehicle air management system is provided. The vehicle air management system comprises an air tank and a boost air tank. Based on a signal indicative of an air consumption level of at least one air consumer, a control unit is configured to control the vehicle air management system to deliver pressurized air from the boost air tank to be supplied to an air compressor.

A holder for an interior trim part, in particular for covering the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, has at least one supply line for guiding a temperature-controllable, liquid or gaseous fluid, to an outlet via which the fluid can emerge from the supply line, and an inlet via which the fluid can enter a discharge line. An interior trim part can be arranged on the holder in such a manner that the outlet of the holder is fluidically connected to an inlet of the interior trim part, and the inlet of the discharge line of the holder is fluidically connected to an outlet of the interior trim part.

A routing and securing system with adjacent components is provided to route and secure hoses, lines, and harnesses of vehicles in a manner that is repeatable and straightforward and can be documented. The routing and securing system uses a base block provided in a first plane and a retainer, or wrap, provided in a second plane. The base block provides concave receptacles, or slots, for seating elongate routed components in the first plane, while the retainer overlaps the elongate routed components in the second plane to secure the elongate routed components to their respective concave receptacles. A mounting bracket may be used to mount the routing and securing system, to the vehicle, and may also be used to join a pair of routing and securing systems together.
