Disclosed is a vehicle with a body having a cockpit therein, wherein: the cockpit contains one or more seats disposed in a single file arrangement; the body has first and second doors for accessing the cockpit, the first and second doors being arranged on opposite sides of the cockpit; when the first door is closed, an upper portion of the first door is arranged to form a first part of a roof of the cockpit; and the first part of the roof of the cockpit is larger than any part of the roof of the cockpit formed by the second door when the second door is closed. By providing two doors which are asymmetrical, it is possible to reduce a size of the cockpit without compromising accessibility or safety of the vehicle. Reducing a size of the cockpit may contribute to reducing an overall mass and size of the vehicle.

An electric vehicle has a frame configured with a cell module , a front anti-crash module and a rear module, each having a reticular structure formed by high-strength steel arms, welded together and each having a hollow structure with a quadrangular cross-section. A front axle unit and a rear axle unit each including an electric drive motor are associated with the front frame module and the rear frame module. The frame has a floor, which acts as a container for a battery pack for the electric drive motors of the vehicle.

A door assembly for a vehicle including: an outer panel; an inner panel; and a perimetral hinge assembly including a perimetral hinge support member disposed between and coupled to the outer panel and the inner panel about an outer periphery of the door assembly. The perimetral hinge assembly further includes one or more connection members coupled to the perimetral hinge support member, where the one or more connection members are adapted to be coupled to a hinge mechanism coupled to a body of the vehicle. The perimetral hinge support member of the perimetral hinge assembly includes a tubular structure with a relatively wider dimension parallel to the outer panel and the inner panel of the door assembly and a relatively thinner dimension perpendicular to the outer panel and the inner panel of the door assembly.

An apparatus that can include a gear door. The gear door can be disposed at least partially between a rear wheel of a vehicle and a rear gate of the vehicle. The gear door can move from a closed position to an open position to provide access to an internal portion of the vehicle in the open position. The gear door can have a surface to support an object with the gear door in the open position.

A gull wing door-type hazardous material container system allowing for easy loading and unloading of intermediate bulk containers is provided. The container system minimizes a loss of cold air fully filling the inside for safe work when only some of a plurality of intermediate bulk containers is selectively loaded. The container system includes a body that has a loading space to load airtight containers containing hazardous material and is opened at both sides and a pair of gull wing doors independently operated to open/close both sides of the body. Additionally, the system includes a partition plate longitudinally disposed in the body and divides the loading space into independent spaces of first and second loading spaces respectively. Cooling units are disposed in the first and second loading spaces, respectively, to independently supply cold air, in which the first and second loading spaces can be independently sealed by the gull wing doors.

A motor vehicle is disclosed having A-pillars and B-pillars on a first side of the motor vehicle and a B-pillar but no A pillar on a second side of the motor vehicle. A wrap around window extends from the A-pillar on the first side of the motor vehicle substantially without interruption to the B-pillar on the second side of the motor vehicle. The wrap around window forms part of a top hinged door that provides access to a passenger compartment when in an open state.

A vehicle may have a rolling chassis with a plurality of tires, and a frame supported by the rolling chassis. The frame may include a floor, a roof, two A-posts, and two C-posts. The A- and C-posts may be connected to each other via the floor and the roof. The floor, roof, A-posts, and C-posts may together form a multi-row enclosure. Open spaces between the A- and C-posts may be unobstructed by additional posts. The vehicle may also include a door disposed within each of the open spaces between the A- and C-posts. The door may include a doorframe, a first hinge configured to pivotally connect the doorframe to the roof, a front-seat door panel, a second hinge configured to pivotally connect the front-seat door panel to the doorframe, a rear-seat door panel, and a third hinge configured to pivotally connect the rear-seat door panel to the doorframe.

The double side doors armored vehicle combines hinged side door with a foldable top screen and a foldable bottom panel, overlaid by a gullwing door in a vehicle body together in a specific arrangement to form a half-closed space for providing multiple direction shields to soldier and police when all of doors and panels are opened. The opening gullwing doors can protect attacks from high building. The opening swing doors can protect from front, right, and left. The standing up top screens and unfold bottom panels extend protection to soldier's head and legs. The vehicle provides multiple directions protection as a mobile shield that is stronger than personal protection devices. It can be a man driven car or an autonomous vehicle. It can be used as leading vehicle, or used in group for protecting marching soldiers. It can be a checking post, a block, an information collecting center.

A wiring guide of a vehicle door includes: an outside guide slidably disposed on one of a vehicle body and a door of a vehicle, and having an inner portion which has a hollow and circular arc shape; and an inside guide slidably disposed on the other side of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, having an inner portion which has a hollow and circular arc shape, slidably disposed in the inner portion of the outside guide, and having a wiring penetrating therein. The outside guide and the inside guide expand and shrink in a circular arc shape upon opening and closing of the door.

This is a hinge that simultaneously articulates two substantially planar surfaces forward, outward and downward, in an arc, relative to one another. The hinge can be attached to, and move, any two substantially planar surfaces. It is especially useful when attaching a door to a car with side exhaust pipes. When I choose a door that curves inwardly toward the interior of the car, and attach the inventive hinge, the curve of the door physically covers the exhaust pipe and exhaust gas.
