Vehicle step assist systems and methods are provided. The steps systems are configured for installation (e.g., after market installation) and use with a vehicle. The system can include a stepping member. The system can further include a vehicle interface configured to electronically communicate with an existing communication bus of the vehicle, such as through a connection with an existing electronics port of the vehicle. A controller of the step system can be configured to process information received from the vehicle interface and, based at least partly on the processing of the information, perform certain operations.

A motor vehicle having at least one side door opening formed in the body of the same and having a sliding door closing the same, wherein the side door opening has a sill structure for supporting and movably guiding the sliding door, wherein the sill structure has a hollow profile oriented in the vehicle longitudinal direction (x-direction) and formed as a welded part, and wherein the hollow profile on the vehicle exterior has a welding flange, extending along the sill structure and oriented in the vehicle vertical direction (z-direction), as a mounting flange for a door seal, which delimits an indentation formed in an upper section of the outer contour of the hollow profile. It is provided advantageously that a recess having at least one guide rail for a roller guide of the sliding door is disposed above the indentation, which recess is detachably secured to the sill structure.

A frame for a purpose-built vehicle (PBV) includes: a front part frame positioned at a front side of a vehicle; a rear part frame positioned at a rear side of the vehicle; and a center part frame. The center part frame has a rectangular planar shape and is coupled between the front part frame and the rear part frame.

A vehicle door for a motor vehicle, including a support structure, an inner shell fixed to the support structure, and an outer panelling fixed to the inner shell. The inner shell is formed and connected to the support structure in such a way that it is a load-bearing component, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the vehicle door.

A seat recliner for a vehicle includes an insert part supporting a control part and coupled to an input member, thereby having improved assembly performance. The seat recliner further includes: a first flange on which a lock cam and lock gears are disposed, where the control part is disposed on upper parts of the lock gears and the lock cam; a second flange covering the control part and provided with a through hole; the input member penetrating through the first flange, the lock cam, the control part, and the second flange in order In particular, the insert part is inserted in the through hole and includes an inside surface, an outside surface, and a supporter.

A pre-buck apparatus for a vehicle body assembling system comprises a pre-buck section and a main buck section that are set along a transfer path of a floor assembly. The pre-buck apparatus is formed in the pre-buck section, and while the side assembly is disposed in each of opposite sides of the transfer path in the pre-buck section, the pre-buck apparatus controls a lower portion of the side assembly, and the lower portion of the side assembly is pre-assembled to the floor assembly using a first welding robot.

A mobile-device retaining assembly includes a housing for mounting within an opening in an internal surface of a vehicle, a bed associated with the housing and configured to receive the mobile-device and to support the mobile device in an orientation that is generally aligned with the internal surface, and a first armature engaged with the bed and configured to engage the mobile device. The bed moves between a receiving position and a retaining position. The first armature remains stationary as the bed moves through a first stage of movement between the receiving position and the retaining position and then moves between a first disengaged position and a first engagement position when the bed moves through a second stage of movement between the receiving position and the retaining position. The first armature is configured to secure the mobile-device when the first armature is in the first engagement position.

An apparatus (1) for regulating at least one fluid flow in a vehicle (5), having a first fluid regulation unit (20), in particular a pump or a valve, for regulating a first fluid flow, and a first holder (20) with a receiving region (22) for the first fluid regulation unit (10) and with a first fastening means (28), wherein the first fluid regulation unit (10) is arranged in the receiving region (22) of the first holder (20), and wherein the first fastening means (28) is provided for fastening the holder (20) to the vehicle (5). The first holder (20) has at least one connecting means (26) for connecting the first holder (20) to a second holder (70).

A drive train (6) is provided for a motor vehicle which can be driven in a purely electric manner. A gear mechanism (7, 15) has a standardized housing (8) for accommodating an electrical machine (16) or two electrical machines (10, 11) and for accommodating two gear mechanism output shafts (9) which are associated with a vehicle axle (2, 4). A large number of drive topologies for various vehicle sectors with purely electric drives can be formed by configuring the drive train in this way.

A system includes obtaining a plurality of automobile part sets through classification based on at least one of the following factors an interface type of an interface of an automobile part, a transmission type used by the automobile part to transmit data, a manufacturer of the automobile part, a type of the automobile part, a safety level of the automobile part, a service type of a service to which data transmitted by the automobile part belongs, or a service level of the service to which the data transmitted by the automobile part in the automobile belongs.
