A vehicle includes a truck bed, docking plate, baseplate, latching system, air compressor, and air storage tank. The truck bed has a side panel extending upward from a floor panel. The docking plate is secured to an internal surface of the side panel. The baseplate has first and second opposing external surfaces. The latching system extends from the first surface and engages the docking plate to secure the baseplate thereto. The air compressor and the air storage tank are each secured to the second surface.

A ground vehicle with flight capability is described including a deployable airfoil configured to deploy from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration, preferably during ground locomotion of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a deployment mechanism for automatically deploying the airfoil from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration. An automated retrieval mechanism may also be included for returning the airfoil to the stowed configuration. Also described are methods of transitioning a vehicle from ground locomotion to flight, including deploying a ram-air airfoil from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration during ground locomotion of the vehicle.

A motor vehicle series includes two different motor vehicle variants. The two motor vehicle variants include an identically designed chassis component fastening device, to which a stabilizer is fastened in the first motor vehicle variant and a motor-pump unit assembly with a motor-pump unit of a hydraulic damping system is fastened in the second motor vehicle variant. The motor-pump unit assembly includes a motor-pump unit for a hydraulic damping system. A holding tube is fastened to the motor-pump unit. A holding element, which is configured to be mounted on a chassis component fastening device of a motor vehicle, is fastened to the end of the holding tube facing away from the motor-pump unit.

One or more aspects of the present application relate to the configuration or management of an integrated component that provides structural component functionality for a vehicle, such as a cross member that absorbs loads placed on the vehicle. Additionally, the integrated component illustratively further provides air reservoir functionality that for one or more additional vehicle components. By way of illustrative embodiment, the integrated component can illustratively provide structural component functionality associated with a cross member mounted between shock towers and air reservoir functionality to provide compression air such as for active or semi-active vehicle suspension systems.
