DOOR ASSEMBLY FOR DELIVERY VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a door assembly. The body is supported by the chassis, and defines a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The driver compartment has a cab opening and the cargo compartment has a cargo opening. The door assembly is coupled to the body and provides selective access into the driver compartment and into the cargo compartment through the cab opening and cargo opening, respectively. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door. The first door is movable between a first position extending across the cab opening and a second position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening. The second door is movable between a third position extending across the cargo opening and a fourth position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening.
Visibility enhancements for delivery vehicle
A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle body and a driver seat. The vehicle body defines a driver compartment having a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. The driver seat is disposed within the driver compartment. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in a 95.sup.th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.

Door lock assembly for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, a door coupled to the cab and selectively repositionable relative to the chassis between an open position and a closed position, and a door lock assembly configured to selectively prevent movement of the door from the closed position to the open position. The door lock assembly defines a key aperture configured to receive a key. The door lock assembly is coupled to the cab, and wherein the key aperture is positioned forward of the door.
Method for lowering a window pane of a vehicle door, and vehicle which is designed for carrying out the method
A vehicle and method for lowering a window pane of a door of a vehicle to make it easier for the vehicle occupant to enter and exit the vehicle. The door has a door unlocking apparatus and a drive device for lowering and raising the window pane. The vehicle has an unlocking sensor, which registers the operation or the imminent operation of the door unlocking apparatus and converts the operation or imminent operation into corresponding unlocking signals, and a control unit, which receives the unlocking signals and converts the signals into operating signals for triggering the drive device. The method checks whether the door unlocking apparatus is operated or operation is imminent and, if the door unlocking apparatus is operated or operation is imminent, triggers the drive device with the control unit to lower the window pane to a position which is easier for the vehicle occupant to enter and exit the vehicle.
DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY FOR DELIVERY VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, a door coupled to the cab and selectively repositionable relative to the chassis between an open position and a closed position, and a door lock assembly configured to selectively prevent movement of the door from the closed position to the open position. The door is positioned on an exterior of the vehicle. The door lock assembly defines a key aperture configured to receive a key. The door lock assembly is coupled to the cab, and wherein the key aperture is positioned forward of the door.
Clip for a vehicle door assembly
A vehicle door assembly includes a door and a trim panel. The trim panel has a mount defining an aperture with a main portion and a keyway. A clip of the assembly includes a base connected to the door, a primary retainer, and a secondary retainer. The primary retainer is configured to extend through the aperture and engage with a periphery of the main portion. The secondary retainer is configured to extend through the aperture and to freely release through the aperture when the secondary retainer is disposed in the main portion allowing the clip to disconnect from the trim panel, and is configured to engage with the mount preventing release of the clip from the trim panel when the secondary retainer is disposed in the keyway.
Repositionable seat for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis. a body coupled to the chassis, and a seating unit. The body includes a partition and a floor. The partition separates an interior of the body into a cab area and a cargo area. The floor defines a first interface within the cab area and a second interface within the cargo area. The first interface and the second interface are discrete and not connected. The seating unit includes a frame assembly having a pair of legs that engage with the first interface and the second interface such that the seating unit is selectively repositionable between (a) a first position forward of the partition and within the cab area and (b) a second position rearward of the partition and within the cargo area.
Window assembly for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab, a cargo body, and a window assembly. The cab is coupled to the chassis. The cargo body is coupled to the chassis, rearward of the cab. The window assembly is positioned on a door of the cab and includes a first window, a second window, and a seal. The first window is fixedly coupled with one or more support columns. The second window is translatably coupled with the first window, and is translatable between a first position and a second position. The seal extends between the first window and the second window. The seal is fixedly coupled with the first window and is configured to sealingly engage the second window when the second window is in the first position.
