A cargo loading system for loading or unloading cargo to a motor vehicle. The cargo loading system includes a compartment, a cargo storage device within the compartment, and a positioning mechanism. The cargo storage device includes a stored and loading position. The positioning mechanism controls the movement of the cargo storage device between the stored position and loading position. The loading position is positioned so that it is configured to be ease loading and loading of cargo to and from the motor vehicle.

Storage compartments for use in or on vehicles are provided. A storage compartment, according to one implementation, may include a container body having a cavity adapted to store items or cargo. The container body may be adapted to be secured to a vehicle. The storage compartment may further include a fabric cover attached to a top edge of the container body.

A system for controlling noise of a vehicle includes: an engine speed sensor configured for detecting a speed of an engine of the vehicle; a microphone detecting noise of the vehicle; an engine state sensor configured for detecting an operating state of the engine; a signal processing controller receiving the speed of the engine, the noise of the vehicle, and the engine operating state and generating amplified noise based on at least one of the received engine speed, the received noise of the vehicle, and the received engine operating state; a signal processing amplifier receiving the engine speed and the amplified noise and generating output noise by amplifying the amplified noise as much as amplification degree based on the speed of the engine; and a sound transmitting device receiving the output noise and transmitting the output noise or a separate sound source corresponding to the output noise to the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a vehicle interior, a front room provided in front of the vehicle interior with a dashboard interposed therebetween, a first protection target that is disposed along the dashboard and extends in an upper-lower direction, and a first protector that has a concave sectional shape and covers the first protection target toward the dashboard. The first protection target includes a curved portion curved along a curvature of the dashboard, and the first protector includes a bent portion that covers the curved portion, an upper extension portion that extends upward from the bent portion, and a lower extension portion that extends downward from the bent portion. The upper extension portion includes a first fixing portion that has a bolt insertion hole and is fixed to the dashboard, and the lower extension portion includes a second fixing portion that has a slit opened downward and is fixed to the dashboard.

Provided is a protection device for a vehicle electrical component capable of preventing damage to a predetermined electrical component due to hitting by a battery, and also capable of reducing noise/vibration. The disclosure is a protection device which protects a starter in a vehicle in which a battery and the starter are disposed to face each other with a space therebetween in an engine room of the vehicle in which components constituting a power plant or a power train are supported by a vehicle body via a mount and a bracket. The skid block serving as the protection device includes bracket attachment portions attached to a transmission attachment portion of the bracket, and a skid block main body extending upward from the bracket attachment portions and gradually away from the bracket extension portion, and having a distal end portion positioned between the battery and the starter and facing the battery.

A structure of mounting a power converter in a vehicle is disclosed herein. The structure may include a converter casing of the power converter, the converter casing including legs connected to the converter casing and extending downward; and a motor housing that houses a traction motor. The legs may be integrally configured with the converter casing. Lower ends of the legs may be fixed to an upper portion of the motor housing with a space provided between the motor housing and a lower surface of the converter casing. A weak portion may be provided in at least one of the legs, and the weak portion may be configured to break or deform prior to break of fixed portions between the legs and the motor housing when crash load is applied to the converter casing.

Provided is a resin cover removal structure for removing a resin cover attached to a metallic body, where the body and the resin cover are attached to each other in such a manner that a body-side attachment surface formed on a peripheral edge portion of the body and a cover-side attachment surface formed on a peripheral edge portion of the resin cover face each other, a part of at least one of the body-side attachment surface and the cover-side attachment surface is cut off to provide an insertion groove opened outside a peripheral edge portion thereof, the insertion groove is inclined in such a manner that a distance between the body and the resin cover decreases toward the inside of the peripheral edge portion, and the resin cover can be removed from the body by inserting a wedge-shaped tool into the insertion groove.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus, which physically secures an Electronic Control Module (ECM) to the chassis frame of the engine block of a diesel vehicle's engine, such as the 12.7 Liter or the 14 Liter Series 60 Detroit Diesel Engines, using a heavy, lockable bracket that prevents the removal of the ECM from the diesel engine it controls. The most preferred embodiments comprise a diagonal cross beam with mounting cylinders on each end and studded mounting bolts, which allow the device to be secured to an engine block and to surround and secure the ECM against theft. Another embodiment comprises two inwardly-facing parallel L-beams, which comprise mounting cylinders, joined by a flat cross beam and studded mounting bolts, which allow the device to be secured to an engine block and to surround and secure the ECM against theft.

A power control unit mounting structure mounted on a vehicle includes an engine in an engine room at a front of the vehicle, an intake manifold disposed above the engine, a power control unit that is disposed above the engine, coupled to a cable, and controls power of a drive motor, and a toeboard cross member disposed on a toeboard. The engine and the toeboard cross member partly overlap in a projected plane along a fore-and-aft direction to provide a space behind the control unit in a front view of the vehicle. The intake manifold and the control unit are disposed within a contour of the engine in a plan view of the vehicle. The intake manifold is disposed ahead of the control unit, and portions of intake pipes of the intake manifold on both sides extend rearward and are partly opposed to both side surfaces of the control unit.
