STRADDLED VEHICLE
A straddled vehicle includes a vehicle body frame supporting a front wheel and a rear wheel, a seat fixed to the vehicle body frame, an engine, a fuel tank, and a canister to adsorb vaporized gas generated by evaporation of a fuel inside the fuel tank. The engine includes a crankshaft that rotates around a crank axis extending in the left-right direction and located lower than the seat. The fuel tank is located farther forward than the seat and higher than the engine. The canister is connected to the fuel tank through a gas pipe. The canister is located farther forward than the crank axis and lower than the fuel tank.
FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE
A vehicle has a frame defining a cockpit area. The frame has a roll cage disposed over the cockpit area. The vehicle has driver and passenger seats, an engine connected to the frame, and a plurality of ground engaging members operatively connected to the frame, at least one ground engaging member of the plurality of ground engaging members being operatively connected to the engine. The vehicle also has a fuel tank assembly including a fuel tank connected to the frame. The fuel tank is forward of the seats and at least a portion of the fuel tank is disposed under the roll cage.
Work vehicle
A work vehicle such as a tractor including a fuel tank (19), a fuel tank cover (30), a dashboard support member (40), and a dashboard (50). The fuel tank (19) is disposed in a rear portion of a hood in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body of the tractor. The fuel tank cover (30) covers a rear portion of the fuel tank (19). The dashboard support member (40) is attached to the fuel tank cover (30). The dashboard (50) is supported by the dashboard support member (40). The fuel tank cover (30) includes a first attachment portion (31) for attaching the dashboard support member (40). The dashboard (50) is configured to be directly attachable to the first attachment portion (31) (without using the dashboard support member (40)).
Vehicle turbine system
A vehicle has a plurality of turbines. Each turbine includes a housing with a spindle. Each spindle has a central axis and a rotor with outwardly extending blades. Each turbine also includes a stator positioned adjacent to an associated rotor.
INTEGRATED CAB DESIGN FOR A SEMI-TRUCK VEHICLE
A cab for a semi-truck vehicle may include a main body with a wrap around windshield providing a predetermined field of front vision and side vision. The cab may further include a seat, a rear wall, and a cabin interior accommodating a driver. The cabin interior may be located between the wrap around windshield and the rear wall and include a frontside volume and a rearside volume. A doorway formed in the main body may provide ingress to and egress from the cabin interior. A plurality of front entry steps may be disposed beneath the doorway. A door may be configured to selectively open and close the doorway, allowing direct access to the frontside volume of the cabin interior. The cab design may optimize visibility, accessibility, and interior space utilization for the driver.
Vehicle
A vehicle includes a seat, an engine, a fuel tank, a canister connected to the fuel tank via a gas pipe, a breather pipe, and a drainpipe. The fuel tank is located lower than a seat surface of the seat. The canister adsorbs evaporation gas generated by evaporation of fuel inside the fuel tank. The breather pipe includes an inlet connected to the canister, and an outlet located at a higher position than the seat surface of the seat and open to the atmosphere. The drainpipe includes a drain hole located lower than the outlet, and branches from the breather pipe.
Vehicle with improved suppression of high voltage under collision load
A vehicle includes an electrical device in which a high-voltage part is disposed within a case, and a fuel tank. The high-voltage part is disposed near a first side end of the case in a vehicle width direction. The fuel tank has a first end portion in the vehicle width direction and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. When a collision load equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to the fuel tank from the outside in a vehicle front-rear direction, the fuel tank is configured to be horizontally rotated about the first end portion of the fuel tank, and the second end portion of the fuel tank is configured to contact the second side end of the electrical device.
Working vehicle
Provided is a working vehicle comprising: a fuel tank; a tank support member configured to receive and support the fuel tank from below; and an inverse U-shaped hood support member provided upright in a state of spanning left and right of the fuel tank, the hood support member including an elastic member that acts on an upper portion side of the fuel tank so as to hold the fuel tank at a predetermined position on the tank support member.
VEHICLE
