The present disclosure relates to a body and doors protection assembly for a vehicle, a hood assembly comprising such a body and doors protection assembly, a vehicle comprising such a hood assembly and a manufacturing method for such a body and doors protection assembly. The body and doors protection assembly comprises a first protecting member, a second protecting member and a sliding member. The first protecting member is attachable on an inner surface of a vehicle hood at a rear edge of the vehicle hood. The second protecting member is attachable in a front side portion of a vehicle body facing the rear edge of the vehicle hood in a closed position of the vehicle hood. The sliding member is at least partially enclosed in the second protecting member and configured to contact the first protecting member in the closed position of the vehicle hood. The sliding member is movable in a lateral direction relative to the vehicle hood in the closed position of the vehicle hood.

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.

A snowmobile including a chassis, a main body panel, and a first trim panel. The main body panel is removably coupled to the chassis by way of a fastener assembly. The first trim panel is removably coupled to the main body panel. The first trim panel has a first thickness and extends a first distance from a side of the snowmobile.

A vehicle front structure includes, below a bonnet (6), a cover member (1) that covers an engine from an upper portion thereof to the side and is formed by an upper wall (30), a shroud (8) as a front wall, a rear wall (13), and side walls (11, 12) on the respective left and right sides. The cover member is formed by the upper wall, the front wall, the rear wall, and the side walls on the respective left and right sides. The front side of one of the left and right side walls is configured to have, relative to the rear side, a higher ratio of a low-rigidity member having lower rigidity than a high-rigidity member forming a main portion on the rear side.

A method for manufacturing a press-formed product suppresses occurrence of a forming defect such as a crack in a starting material during press forming, and also suppresses occurrence of problems when transferring a starting material during press forming. A manufacturing intermediate is formed by forming, in a flat-sheet shaped blank sheet, a planned outline portion including an undulating shape which is used for forming an outline of an outer circumferential portion of a press-formed product. The flat shape of the blank sheet is maintained in a region from the planned outline portion toward the center of the manufacturing intermediate, or an intermediate stretch-formed portion having a predetermined intermediate forming height is formed in the manufacturing intermediate in the region. A through-hole is formed by piercing a flat portion at which the flat shape is maintained or a stretch-formed-side top portion of the intermediate stretch-formed portion.

A reinforcing structure of an automobile exterior panel improving performance in absorbing an impact load, the reinforcing structure of an automobile exterior panel comprising an outer panel 110 of a sheet shape, a plurality of first reinforcing members 122 of long shapes arranged at a vehicle inner side from the outer panel 110 and a plurality of second reinforcing members 124 of long shapes arranged at a vehicle inner side from the outer panel 110 and crossing the plurality of first reinforcing members 122, an inner panel 135 of a sheet shape arranged at a vehicle inner side from the first reinforcing members 122 and second reinforcing members 124, and support members 140 provided at a vehicle outer side from the inner panel 135 and supporting the first reinforcing members 122 or the second reinforcing members 124 from a vehicle inner side, the support members 140 supporting first reinforcing members 122 or second reinforcing members 124 at a plurality of crossing parts where the first reinforcing members 122 and the second reinforcing members 124 cross or between adjoining crossing parts.

A recreational off-highway vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a plurality of wheels, a drive source, a vehicle body and a pair of headlights. The vehicle frame includes a front frame, a rear frame and an intermediate frame defining an open passenger compartment between the front and rear frames. The wheels support the vehicle frame. At least one of the wheels is a drive wheel. The drive source supported by the vehicle frame. The vehicle body is provided to the vehicle frame. The vehicle body includes a front grille panel that has an air intake area defined by a plurality of intake air openings. The headlights are located primarily at a middle point of the front grille panel with respect to a vertical direction of the recreational off-highway vehicle.

A method for the actuation of an actuating device and to an actuating device with at least one lock, in particular a lock for a front bonnet of a motor vehicle, comprising a rotary latch, wherein the rotary latch can be brought by means of a lock holder into a locked position, with an actuating element connected to the lock, wherein, after a first actuation of the actuating element, the front bonnet can be brought from a locked position into a supported position and wherein, after at least one further actuation of the actuating element, the front bonnet can be brought into a release position, and with an actuation transmission means, in particular a Bowden cable, between the actuating element and the lock, wherein a means for disabling the actuating device is provided, with the result that an actuation of the lock by means of the actuating element can be suppressed.
