A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, has cladding modules for cladding a body shell-side vehicle lateral wall and/or vehicle roof. The cladding modules, or at least a majority of the cladding modules of the vehicle, either have a first width or a second width which is smaller than the first width, and the difference between the first and second width corresponds to half of the width of at least one partition module which is mounted in the vehicle and which is mounted between two of the cladding modules or is arranged on an interface between two directly adjacent cladding modules, in particular the partition module is placed in front of the interface when seen in the vehicle transverse direction and covers the interface.

A front end body structure (3) has a front wall portion (4) which forms a front surface (4b) in a front-rear direction (Da) and has edge portions which form an opening portion (4a) opened; and a ceiling wall portion (5) which is continuous with the front wall portion (4) and forms a ceiling surface (5a) facing an upper side. In t front wall portion (4), side edge portions (41, 42) on both sides in the width direction (Dw) and an upper edge portion (40) on the upper side among edge portions surrounding the opening portion (4a) have a multi-axial fiber-reinforced plastic material in which at least two directions along the outer surface are set as a fiber direction. At least a partial region of the ceiling wall part (5) including a central portion in the width direction (Dw) has a core material sandwiched between the multi-axial fiber-reinforced plastic materials.

A gondola car has a door and an associated door frame the end. The door hangs hingedly from the header of the frame. The header runs across the top of the door opening and is connected to the top chords at either side. The door posts are positioned inside the side sheets and tie into the header at each upper corner. The side sheets lap onto the door posts to allow longitudinal adjustment of the side assemblies and the door frame relative to each other, at assembly. The side posts are connected to the header with a tie plate that is bolted to both members. The car may also have a tarp dome at each end. The tarp dome has non-welded connections that have play to permit the tarp dome to accommodate movement of the top chords.

An easy-to-maintain frame-type energy-absorption structure, including: a fixing frame, anti-climder which are arranged at the front of the bottom of the fixing frame, energy absorption block which are detachably connected with the fixing frame and the anti-climder respectively, a connecting device for hinging the anti-climder and the fixing frame, and shear pins which are respectively arranged at a junction of the connecting device and the fixing frame, and a junction of the connecting device and the anti-climder. So that changing the traditional whole welded frame type energy absorbing device into an easy-to-maintain frame-type energy-absorption structure, and when a collision occurs, protecting the fixing frame from being damaged, and the energy absorption block can be replaced to achieve reuse it.

The present application relates to an opening and closing mechanism and a train having the same. The opening and closing mechanism comprise a driving device, a locking device and a support arm; the driving device is connected to the locking device to drive the locking device to rotate; a first end of the locking device is rotatably mounted on a baseplate; a sliding groove in which a second end of the locking device is slidably located is formed on the support arm; a first end of the support arm is rotatably mounted on the baseplate; a second end of the support arm is connected to a fairing; the driving device drives the locking device to rotate, the locking device drives the support arm to rotate by the sliding groove, so that the support arm opens or closes the fairing.
