A side window assembly for a vehicle comprising a cabin, a chassis window frame rail, and a body with a door integral therewith and aligned with the chassis rail axis, comprising a window frame fitted within an opening between a front post of the door and an internal edge of the cabin independently of an internal fender panel and of a fender of the cabin, and a glazing, secured to the window frame to fill the opening.

The present disclosure relates to an insulation member for a hollow space of a vehicle bodywork. The insulation member comprises an expandable insulation body and a gas-impermeable cover. The cover comprises a yieldable chamber portion enclosing the expandable insulation body, wherein a pressure inside the chamber portion in a non-expanded state of the insulation member is less than atmospheric pressure. The cover further comprises at least one attachment portion adapted for attachment to the vehicle bodywork. The disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising the insulation member, a use of the insulation member, a method of manufacturing an insulation member and a method of mounting an insulation member.

A passenger compartment of the modular vehicle, such as a bus, includes a roof panel and sandwich-type side panels coupled to structural joiners to form the passenger compartment. The side panels and the joiners may include pultruded beams for increased structural integrity. A chassis of the vehicle has channels integrated therein for coupling of the side panels and passenger compartment to the chassis. This coupling to the chassis channel may also include the use of a bonding agent.

A support device supports a component gripping device including an engagement part to be engaged with a predetermined component. The component gripping device grips the component in a state in which the engagement part is caused to be engaged with the component. The support device contains a support body part, a first shift mechanism part, a second shift mechanism part, a third shift mechanism part, a first rotation mechanism part, a second rotation mechanism part, and a third rotation mechanism part.

An apparatus and method, according to an exemplary aspect includes, among other things, a bracket system having a first portion fixed to a vehicle panel and a second portion that is moveable relative to the first portion for adjustment purposes. At least one first fastener holds the first and second portions together prior to assembly of the vehicle panel to a pillar. The at least one first fastener is loosened to adjust a position of the second portion relative to the pillar. At least one second fastener secures the second portion to the pillar subsequent to adjustment, and the at least one first fastener is tightened subsequent to adjustment to hold the vehicle panel in a desired position relative to the pillar.

An embodiment structure for a vehicle includes a front-end module carrier, a front side member, a fender apron assembly disposed on an upper portion of the front side member, and connecting members connecting the front-end module carrier and the fender apron assembly. Another embodiment structure for a vehicle includes a front side member, a front-end module carrier, a fender apron assembly disposed on an upper portion of the front side member, the fender apron assembly including a shock absorber housing coupled to the upper portion of the front side member, and connecting members connecting the front-end module carrier and the fender apron assembly, the connecting members including a lower connecting member extending from the front-end module carrier and connecting the shock absorber housing and the front side member.

A method for producing and installing a front end of a motor vehicle, including an arrangement including a structural front surface forming a structure that supports engine-cooling elements, to which structure a front protective molding and the projector headlamps are attached. In addition, the vehicle includes a hood hinged on hinge brackets secured to the vehicle structure, and side wings connected to the front pillar lining of the vehicle structure. The method includes adjusting the structural front surface in the transverse direction to a transverse position determined relative to the hood, placing a gauge device between the hood and the front structural face.
