A bus structure, optionally an electric bus structure for one hundred passengers or more. The bus structure includes: a passenger compartment, a side wall with a vertical post and delimiting the passenger compartment, a horizontal support, a vertical handle—or stanchion—along the vertical post and projecting from the horizontal support, a strut projecting from the vertical post to the horizontal support, and a floor structure of reduced thickness. The strut defines a triangle with the wheel housing and the vertical post. The strut is straight or curved.

An arrangement and a computer implemented method for three-dimensional (3D) printing of at least one first vehicle component (first VC) for a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving a request to form the first VC. The method includes obtaining a 3D model for the first VC. The method includes identifying at least one second vehicle component located in proximity to the first VC when mounted on the vehicle. Also, the method includes determining at least one breaking point of the first VC which avoids the first VC to come into contact with the identified at least one second vehicle component in case the first VC should break at the at least one breaking point. The method includes forming a 3D model for the first VC based on the request and the determined at least one breaking point. The method includes instructing a 3D printer to print the 3D model.

A frame structure of a commercial vehicle having an independent suspension system may include: a front outrigger mounted at lower front ends of wheel housings along a wide direction of a vehicle; a rear outrigger mounted at lower rear ends of the wheel housings along the width direction, wherein the wheel housings are arranged between the front and rear outriggers in a vehicle body length direction; a center reinforce unit mounted on an inner lower side of the wheel housing and disposed between the wheel housings, the center reinforce unit configured to connect the front and rear outriggers along the vehicle body length direction; a side reinforce unit mounted on an inner side of the wheel housing and connected to the center reinforce unit; and a lower reinforce unit configured to be connected to the center reinforce unit and coupled to the first suspension mounting assembly through the rear outrigger.

A bus or trailer with gaming apparatuses installed thereon is shown and described. The bus or trailer with gaming apparatuses installed thereon includes a bus or trailer comprised of at least a compartment having a plurality of sidewalls and at least one door. The compartment is secured to a movable apparatus. A plurality of gaming apparatus is installed around an interior of the compartment. The interior includes at least one sleeper bed, at least one electronic gaming machine, and at least one gaming table.

A protective shield assembly for use on a bus is disclosed. The assembly includes a first fastener affixed to the luggage rack of the bus, a second fastener affixed to a rear surface of the backrest of the seats of a row of the bus, and a body extending between the luggage rack and the seats to form a barrier between adjacent rows. The body includes an upper end having a third fastener and a lower end having a lower edge, a cut-out, a fourth fastener, and a furled portion. The third fastener is attached to the first fastener and the fourth fastener is attached to the second fastener fixing the body in position. The cut-out divides the furled portion into a left portion and a right portion that selectively and independently uncurl as the body is pulled toward a planar configuration when one of the seats is reclined.

A transportation system that includes one or more pods that include an interior space configured to house one or more travelers. The pods can be attached to and transported by multiple different vehicles. The different vehicles can provide for different modes of transportation. The pods are configured to supply one or more utility functions to the interior space. One or more of the utility functions to be supplied from the vehicles to the pods when the pods are attached to the vehicles.

A bus with a low and thin passenger platform adapted for standing passengers, seat places are foreseen as well. The bus is an articulated bus with two or more units. It includes a passenger compartment, left steering modules and right steering modules. Each of these steering modules includes: a wheel with a rotation axis, a steering knuckle with an upper pivot joint and a lower pivot joint, a steering actuator for pivoting the corresponding steering knuckle about the upper pivot joint and the lower pivot joint. The bus further including a passenger platform delimiting the passenger compartment and transversally joining the left steering module and the right steering module, and the passenger platform being vertically disposed, at least partially, between the rotation axes of the wheels and the lower pivot joints.
