A curved panel part includes: a curved panel made of metal; and a reinforcement joined to the curved panel and made of a plurality of FRP layers including continuous fibers, in which each of the plurality of FRP layers has a single fiber direction, at least one layer out of the plurality of FRP layers has a fiber direction different from that of another layer, in the plurality of FRP layers, a proportion of layers having an angular difference in the fiber direction of 30° or more is 15% or more of all of the layers, and when calculating, by defining a maximum principal curvature direction of the curved panel as a 0° direction and a direction orthogonal to the 0° direction as a 90° direction, each of a 0° direction component and a 90° direction component regarding the fiber direction of each FRP layer of the reinforcement joined to the curved panel, by using a trigonometric function, an expression (1) is satisfied.

A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal axis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, and a driver seat disposed within the cab. The cab has a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in the 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 the longitudinal axis 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.

A hood assembly for a vehicle comprises an outer panel, an inner panel disposed inwardly of the outer panel and defining a lower, sealing surface, a crush volume defined between the outer panel and the inner panel; and a bridging member disposed within the crush volume and configured to extend supportively between the outer panel and the inner panel. The bridging member comprises a support surface that is in supportive contact with the outer panel and support members that extend from the support surface toward the inner panel for structural support of the hood assembly.

A tractor includes: a vehicle body; an engine bonnet that forms an engine compartment; a first exhaust-gas cleaning device disposed above the engine in the engine compartment and purifies exhaust gas from the engine; and a second exhaust-gas cleaning device disposed behind the engine and purifies the exhaust gas from the engine, the engine compartment including: a back engine compartment portion in which the second exhaust-gas cleaning device is disposed, and a front engine compartment portion disposed further toward a vehicle-body front side than the back engine compartment portion, the engine bonnet including: a back bonnet that covers the back engine compartment portion, and a front bonnet that is configured as a separate body from the back bonnet and covers the front engine compartment portion, and the front bonnet being swingably supported to open and close.

An automobile hood 1 has an inner panel 2, an outer panel 3, and a plurality of linear sealer regions A in which joints 21 are arranged. A region which includes the linear sealer region A and in which both ends in a longitudinal direction L of the linear sealer region A reach the outer circumferential edge of the inner panel 2 is defined as an end-to-end region B. Each of three longest linear sealer regions A2, A4 and A3 among the plurality of linear sealer regions A is a length that is 40% or more of the length of an end-to-end region B2, B4 or B3 to which the linear sealer regions A2, A4 or A3 belongs, respectively. These three end-to-end regions B2, B4 and B3 do not intersect with each other within a region surrounded by the outer circumferential edge of the inner panel 2.

A hood inner panel for a vehicle includes a first member configured to bend upon a collision of the vehicle, and a second member configured to bent and disposed behind the first member. The first and second members respectively include a first protrusion and a second protrusion that protrude downward. The first protrusion includes a central section that extends in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle from a center in the vehicle width direction and an outer section that extends outward in the vehicle width direction from an outer edge of the central section in the vehicle width direction and that has a backward inclination angle that increases as a position thereof is nearer to outside in the vehicle width direction. The second protrusion extends in the vehicle width direction and at least partly overlaps the outer section of the first protrusion in the vehicle width direction.
