A system for reducing dust emissions resulting from tire abrasion, comprising a collecting unit (1), arranged at a distance from the tread (4) of a tire (5) and has at least one first electromagnet and/or permanent magnet (2). At least the material with which the tread (4) of the tire (5) is formed is magnetic or is ferromagnetically, ferrimagnetically or anti-ferromagnetically magnetisable, so that the tire abrasion particles (6) created as a result of abrasion of the tread (4) are magnetic or are ferromagnetically, ferrimagnetically or anti-ferromagnetically magnetisable. The at least one first electromagnet and/or permanent magnet (2) is designed to magnetise tire abrasion particles (6) and to accumulate the magnetized tire abrasion particles (6) detached from the material of the tread (4) in a collection point (3), arranged on a vehicle.

An external material for vehicles may include a non-woven fabric having a honeycomb structure and a wheel guard including the same.

A front end module for covering a front of a front vehicle part of a motor vehicle includes a crossmember that is connectable to longitudinal carriers of a motor vehicle frame so as to absorb loads of a bumper. An upper frame element is connected to the crossmember for supporting an engine hood. A receiving region for receiving a radiator grill is disposed between the crossmember and the upper frame element. Fastening elements disposed on the crossmember and/or the upper frame element are configured to fasten an intercooler for cooling charge air of a turbocharger, with respect to the driving direction, in front of a wheel arch that receives a front wheel. A crash structure is connected to the fastening elements for absorbing impact energy by way of plastic deformation and covers a majority of the front wheel in an installed state of the front end module.

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame and a swing arm rotatably coupled to the vehicle frame at a rotatable connection. A track curves along a curved path. The track is fixed relative to the swing arm and spaced from the rotatable connection. An anchor is fixed relative to the vehicle frame. The track is slideably engaged with the anchor along the curved path of the track. A pyrotechnic actuator is between the vehicle frame and the swing arm.

An automotive vehicle includes a body with a front portion, an underbody portion, a wheelhouse disposed in the underbody portion, and a front fascia disposed at the front portion. The wheelhouse is provided with a liner. A movable member is disposed between the wheelhouse liner and the front fascia. The movable member has a venting position and a barrier position. In the barrier position the front fascia, movable member, and wheelhouse liner define a generally contiguous surface, and in the venting position the movable member is displaced at least partly away from the body relative to the barrier position. An actuator is coupled to the movable member and configured to actuate the movable member between the venting position and the barrier position. A controller is configured to control the actuator to move the movable member to the barrier position in response to a first operating condition being satisfied.

A motor vehicle includes at least one air-conducting structure. That at least one air conducting structure is arranged downstream of a vehicle wheel in the direction of travel, for conducting at least some of the air in a wake of the vehicle wheel to a dust collector. A control unit is provided for automatic adjustment, in a manner depending on the speed of travel of the vehicle and/or of the spacing between a lower edge of the air-conducting structure and a roadway surface being driven over by the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a body with an underbody portion having an outer periphery. At least one traction wheel is rotatably coupled to the body. The traction wheel has a track width defined by an inboard plane and an outboard plane. A movable panel with an inboard edge and an outboard edge is coupled to the underbody portion. An actuator is coupled to the movable panel and configured to actuate the movable panel between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position the outboard edge projects outboard of the outboard plane of the track width, and in the stowed position the outboard edge is retracted within the outer periphery of the underbody portion. A controller is configured to, in response to an operating condition being satisfied during a drive cycle, control the actuator to actuate the movable panel from the stowed position to the deployed position.

In an embodiment a mobility vehicle platform includes a body part open toward an upper side and configured to receive a cabin at the upper side and a wheel part detachably connected to the body part, wherein the wheel part includes a steering member rotatable about an axis extending in an upward/downward direction, a wheel member connected to the steering member and configured to contact a ground surface, and a coupling member, into which the steering member is inserted, and detachably mounted to the body part, wherein the body part includes a body member configured to receive the cabin at an upper side thereof, and a protruding member coupled to the body member to protrude toward an outside of the body member, and to which the coupling member is coupled, and wherein the coupling member includes a first coupling part extending upwards and a second coupling part extending from an upper end of the first coupling part toward the body part.

An extraction device is provided for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor bike or for a motor vehicle similar to a motor bike. The extraction device includes at least one duct-like air-guide which has at least one opening which is arranged in or at an exhaust-air region of a ventilated vehicle component of the motor vehicle, such as engine, gearbox or the like, and which is extended between the used-air region of the vehicle component and a rear wheel of the motor vehicle, and at least one suction apparatus which is connectable or is connected to the air-guide and in which a negative pressure can be produced in order to suck air out of the exhaust-air region via the at least one air-guide.

A safety guard for a vehicle, such as a school or transit bus, includes a skirt extending below a side body portion of the vehicle and between front and rear wheels along a side of the vehicle. The skirt functions to push individuals and other animate objects out of the path of the wheels for safety purposes, while being mounted for separate linear and arcuate movements relative to the body of the vehicle to protect the guard from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle.
