A work vehicle includes a fender covering a rear wheel, a seat base to which the fender is fixed and on which a seat is installed, a step above or below the seat base and to which the seat base is fixed, and a first vibration insulating portion having a vibration insulating property and interposed between the step and the seat base.

A quarter panel is configured for use with a vehicle having a forward end, a wheel, and a vertical surface located forward of the wheel. The quarter fender assembly includes a quarter fender in the form of an arcuate panel. The quarter panel is sized and configured to be mounted to the vehicle between the wheel and the vertical surface. The quarter panel assembly further includes a flexible flap mounted to an upper portion of the quarter fender. The flap has an at least partially arcuate forward surface.

A vehicle comprising: a front surface exposed to the front of the vehicle; a forward ground-engaging wheel; a wheel arch defined by the body of the vehicle, the forward wheel being at least partially located in the wheel arch in at least one configuration of the wheel; and a duct extending from the front surface into the wheel arch, the duct being substantially unobstructed throughout its length.

A side sill structure for a vehicle includes: a side sill connected to a floor of the vehicle, and extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; and a rear wheel house connected to a rear end of the side sill. The side sill includes an outer side sill facing an exterior of the vehicle, an inner side sill facing an interior of the vehicle, and a reinforcement disposed between the outer side sill and the inner side sill. The reinforcement extends from a front of the vehicle to the rear wheel house, and a cross-section of the reinforcement is unchanged along a longitudinal direction of the reinforcement.

A vehicle structural support is disclosed having first and second metallic members. A first metallic member has first and second sides, where the second side has a reduced thickness section. A second metallic member is coupled to a first side of the first metallic member. A third member is coupled to the first metallic member and positioned in the reduced thickness section. The second metallic member extends beyond the reduced thickness section to at least partially overlap the third member. The third member may be a fender for a vehicle.

The present invention provides a shock-absorbing member including: an exterior material 110 for an automobile; a first reinforcing member 122 that is disposed adjacent to the exterior material 110 and whose cross section orthogonal to the extending direction has a height, in the direction orthogonal to the exterior material 110, that is greater than the width in the S direction along the exterior material 110; a second reinforcing member 124 that is disposed adjacent to the exterior material 110 and whose cross section orthogonal to the extending direction has a height, in the direction orthogonal to the exterior material 110, that is greater than the width in the direction along the exterior material 110; an intersecting part where the first reinforcing member 122 and the second reinforcing member intersect and overlap; and a joint that joins the first reinforcing member 122 and the second reinforcing member 124 at the intersection.

In a vehicle body front structure including a dashboard panel (10), a damper housing (18) attached to a front side of the dashboard panel, and a component mounting part reinforcing plate (24) attached to the dashboard panel, a dashboard panel reinforcing plate (40, 48, 50) extends between the attachment part of the dashboard panel for the vehicle body structure member and the attachment part of the dashboard panel for the component mounting part reinforcing plate, and is attached to the dashboard panel. The dashboard panel reinforcing plate is adjacent to or overlaps with the attachment part of the dashboard panel for the vehicle body structure member of the dashboard panel without being attached to the vehicle body structure member, and has a part (40B) attached to or adjacent to the component mounting part reinforcing plate.

An extraction device is provided for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor bike or for a motor vehicle similar to a motor bike. The extraction device includes at least one duct-like air-guide which has at least one opening which is arranged in or at an exhaust-air region of a ventilated vehicle component of the motor vehicle, such as engine, gearbox or the like, and which is extended between the used-air region of the vehicle component and a rear wheel of the motor vehicle, and at least one suction apparatus which is connectable or is connected to the air-guide and in which a negative pressure can be produced in order to suck air out of the exhaust-air region via the at least one air-guide.
