An external rear view mirror protective cover including a main body made of an elastic material and a trimmed edge arranged at one end of the main body that is folded towards an inside surface of main body. Another end of the main body opposite to the trimmed edge is in the shape of a circular arc. The main body includes a mirror opening, also formed with a trimmed edge, that is arranged to accommodate a rear view mirror. Securing bands are arranged on the trimmed edge. The elastic material is nylon, lycra or latex. The mirror opening is square or elliptic in shape. The protective cover is suitable for various kinds of rear view mirror due to its use of elastic material. The trimmed edge can effectively prevent the cover from sliding from the rear view mirror. The cover can effectively protect the external rear view mirror from external scuffing and damage caused by collision.

An air duct for a vehicle is provided. The air duct includes a first duct component that is formed from a rigid material through which air external air is introduced. A second duct component is formed from a pliable material through which introduced air is discharged towards an air filter. The second duct component is formed integrally with the first duct component.

The invention relates to a dashboard support for holding an attachment by means of a connecting element, which has a fastening leg, in a motor vehicle, having: at least one tubular crossmember having a tube wall, in which a plateau-shaped bulge is formed, wherein the plateau-shaped bulge comprises a mounting section for mounting the connecting element, wherein an aperture for receiving the fastening leg is formed in the tube wall adjacent to the mounting section.

A tonneau cover access panel assembly connectable to a tonneau cover assembly that eliminates the need for side rails to both locate and tension the top cover. The tension works to seal out environmental elements and holds the tonneau cover and locating bows of the tonneau cover in place. The tonneau cover access panel holds the rear of the tonneau in the closed tension state keeping the tonneau secured and tight until the cover is opened by an operator. The tonneau cover access panel assembly is movable between a closed position and a fully open position, and, is movable between at least a first open position and the closed position for more limiting access to the cargo bed of the vehicle when desired. The tonneau cover access panel assembly also reduces weight and complexity.

A vehicle body structure includes a first middle floor unit for a gasoline vehicle and a second middle floor unit for a hybrid vehicle, and the first and second middle floor units are made interchangeable with each other. A front floor unit and a rear floor unit are made shareable by the gasoline vehicle and the hybrid vehicle. That is, the front floor unit and the rear floor unit can be regarded as a platform. Additionally, the second middle floor unit includes a housing, and an IPU is stored in an interior of the housing.

Disclosed is an electric vehicle, comprising a chassis (1), a vehicle body and a power battery (71), wherein the chassis (1) comprises a frame system (2), a steering motor damping system (13) mounted on the frame system (2), a wheel system (12) connected to the steering motor damping system (13), a steering system (3) mounted on the frame system (2), and a braking system (4) mounted on the frame system (2); and the wheel system (12) comprises a left front wheel (121) using a hub motor, a left rear wheel (123) using a hub motor, a right front wheel (122) using a hub motor, and a right rear wheel (124) using a hub motor. Driving the wheels (121, 122, 123, 124) with the hub motors can omit a traditional mechanical transmission system, so as to simplify the structure of the chassis (1) and reduce the weight of the chassis (1). Compared with a traditional electric vehicle, the electrical vehicle has a lighter weight, smaller volume, reduced mechanical transmission loss, and improved electrical energy utilization rate.

There is provided a vehicle body front structure in which left and right frame side mounting members for connecting the rear ends of left and right bumper beam extensions are provided at the front ends. The left and right front side frames are formed from left and right side inner panels and left and right side outer panels. The left and right side outer panels are formed from left and right rear outer panels and left and right front outer panels. The left and right front outer panels are formed from left and right side plates, left and right upper plates, and left and right lower plates. At least one of the set of the left and right upper plates and the set of the left and right lower plates is formed by members different from the left and right side plates.

An engine mount for a motor vehicle that is capable of being mounted in two orientations such that it allows two different series of engine designs to be installed in the vehicle while maintaining prescribed mounting elevations for either series of engine design. The engine mount is accompanied by a second engine mount of identical design serving the same purpose of determining the engine's mount height, but also providing a second attachment to support the engine and bear engine loads. Both of these engine mounts are attached to the vehicle's body or frame and also incorporate other known hardware such as brackets, bushings, and other common mechanical fasteners.

A power steering assembly for a hydraulic power steering system of motor vehicles includes an input shaft configured for connection to a steering wheel, an output shaft coupled to the input shaft configured for operational engagement with a steering rod, a hydraulic servo valve, an actuator, a sensor system, and an evaluation unit. The coupling between the input and output shafts is realized by a torsion bar and permits a first relative rotation between the input and output shafts. The hydraulic servo valve, which controls a hydraulic pressure and thus a steering assistance depending on the steering torque applied by a driver, has a rotatable control element engaged with, and driven by, the output shaft. An engagement between the output shaft and control element provides for a second relative rotation therebetween. This engagement includes a multi-stage planetary gear unit. The steering power assistance system is controlled depending on a third relative roation between the input shaft and control element. The actuator relatively displaces the control element in relation to the output shaft to influence the steering power assistance characteristics. The sensor system measures at least one differential angle between the control element and input shaft, wherein the control element is a valve sleeve disposed coaxially with the input and output shafts and the sensor system includes an encoder sleeve non-rotatably connected to the valve sleeve.
