An automotive chassis which has an H-shaped base mounted to a vehicle. An electric motor having a rotatable axis is mounted to a metal floor situated in a square, box-shaped center in the H-shaped base. A metal disk is coupled to the axis of the electric motor, and rotation of the axis of the electric motor causes rotation of the metal disk, creating a centrifugal force that stabilizes the vehicle.

A rollover protective device for a motor vehicle has a rollover protective body (1) with a top side. A deformation cross bar (2) is attached to the top side of the rollover protective body (1) and has hollow profile body (3). The deformation cross bar (2) has at least one reinforcing body (4) inserted into the hollow profile body (3).

A vehicle is electrically connected to one or more accessories. The vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to identify the accessory based on accessory identification information. The controller may also be configured to provide one or more commands to control an operation of the accessory.

A method of using a support accessory rack includes aligning a first mounting portion of the support accessory rack with a first pin of a rollover protective structure. The method includes aligning a second mounting portion of the support accessory rack with a second pin of a second rollover protective structure. The method includes actuating the first pin to secure the first mounting portion to the rollover protective structure. The method further includes actuating the second pin to secure the second mounting portion to the rollover protective structure. The method includes pivoting a rotating support member of the support accessory rack away from the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and supporting the rotating support member onto a lateral bar of the rollover protective structure.

A utility vehicle includes a chassis, and a ROPS provided on the chassis. The ROPS surrounds a cabin space of the vehicle. A center of gravity of the vehicle is located at a position of ⅓ or lower of the vehicle height, and an outline of the ROPS is formed in a curved shape when seen in the right and left direction or in the front and rear direction of the vehicle. Since the outline of the ROPS is formed in a curved shape, in the case of rollover of a vehicle body, the ROPS can easily roll on the ground surface. The combination of the configuration of the ROPS and the gravitational force exerted on the low position of the center of gravity, which is ⅓ or lower of the vehicle height, the vehicle body can be easily set up from the rolled over situation.

A utility vehicle includes at least one front ground-engaging member, at least one rear ground-engaging member, and a frame assembly extending along a longitudinal axis and supported by the at least one front ground-engaging member and the at least one rear ground-engaging member. The utility vehicle also includes an operator area supported by the frame assembly and a powertrain assembly supported by the frame assembly. The powertrain assembly includes at least an engine and a gearbox operably coupled to the engine. The utility vehicle also includes a cooling assembly fluidly coupled to at least the engine and supported by a front portion of the frame assembly. The cooling assembly includes a radiator with a lower portion positioned forward of an upper portion of the radiator.

An object of the present invention is to provide a battery protection member capable of achieving both securement of a capability to allow a passenger to reside in a vehicle and protection of a battery at the same time. According to one aspect of the present invention, a battery protection member includes a hollow-shaped battery containing frame extending in a vehicle lateral direction of the vehicle. The battery containing frame includes a surface where a seat occupied by a driver is disposed on an outer surface side thereof. The battery containing frame is configured to contain the battery on an inner surface side thereof.

An attach and release system for securing a windshield to a pillar includes an extrusion that is securable to the windshield adjacent the pillar. The extrusion has a connection tab and a seal tab. A bulb seal is connected to the seal tab, and a clamp includes a pillar section securable to the pillar and a connector section securable to the connection tab. The system and method facilitate windshield installation and removal and are suited for a utility task/terrain vehicle (UTV) as part of its rollover protection structure (ROPS).
