An air guide for a vehicle having a pair of side members. The air guide includes a base member having a pair of opposing ends and a pair of attachment members configured to be coupled to the pair of side members. Each of the pair of attachment members are coupled to a respective opposing end of the base member for movement between a folded position, an unfolded position, and an attachment position between the folded position and the unfolded position.

A vehicle charging port arrangement is provided with a vehicle body, a charging port support member and an electric charging port. The vehicle body includes a vehicle front end portion. The charging port support member is supported on the vehicle front end portion. The charging port support member includes an energy absorbing structure that is configured and arranged to deform towards a support structure of the vehicle front end portion and into an energy absorbing area that is disposed forward of the support structure of the vehicle front end portion during a frontal impact. The electric charging port is attached to the charging port support member, with the electric charging port being configured to receive an electric charging connector.

A radiator support member includes; a pair of vertical beam portions respectively extending in a vehicle height direction along both side edge portions of a radiator body portion of a vehicle; and a horizontal beam portion extending in a vehicle width direction along an upper edge portion of the radiator body portion, in which the pair of vertical beam portions and the horizontal beam portion are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, wherein a tubular member extending in the vehicle width direction is attached to the horizontal beam portion, and both end portions of the tubular member in the vehicle width direction are fixed to a body portion of the vehicle.

The present invention is directed to a carrier for an automobile with integrated active ducting. The carrier includes at least one aperture, and at least one louver rotatably mounted in the aperture. Also attached to the carrier is an actuator, and the actuator is connected to the louver. The actuator is operable for moving the louver between an open position and a closed position such that when the louver is in the open position, air flow passes through the aperture.

A vehicle front structure is configured such that an absorber is provided on a front surface of a center brace that connects in a vehicle up and down direction a radiator support upper to a radiator support lower. Accordingly, when a load is input from a front side of a vehicle, a load transfer passage through the absorber, the center brace, and the radiator support upper or the radiator support lower is newly configured, thereby improving impact absorption performance.

A vehicle has a frame defining a longitudinal axis, a straddle seat, left and right front wheels, at least one rear wheel, a motor and a front cowling assembly being supported by the frame. At least a portion of an air inlet defined in the front cowling assembly faces forwardly. An air outlet is defined in the front cowling assembly and fluidly communicating with the air inlet. At least a portion of the air outlet faces laterally outwardly. A radiator fluidly communicating with the motor is enclosed at least in part by the front cowling assembly. At least a portion of the air flowing from the air inlet flows through the air outlet and through the radiator. A projection of the radiator on a longitudinally disposed vertical plane is greater than a projection of the radiator on a laterally disposed vertical plane.

In one embodiment, a utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members configured to contact a ground surface, and a powertrain assembly operably coupled to the ground-engaging members. The utility vehicle also includes a frame supported by the ground-engaging members and extending along a longitudinal axis of the utility vehicle. The utility vehicle further includes a tunnel member coupled to the frame and extending along the longitudinal axis. The tunnel member is positioned at a first height from the ground surface. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes a cargo portion supported by the frame and positioned generally rearward of the tunnel member. The cargo portion has a cargo surface substantially aligned with the tunnel member and positioned at a second height from the ground surface. The first height is approximately equal to the second height.

A carrier for an automobile with integrated active ducting, and a method of making a louver therefor. The carrier includes at least one aperture, and at least one louver rotatably mounted in the aperture. Also attached to the carrier is an actuator, and the actuator is connected to the louver. The actuator is operable for moving the louver between an open position and a closed position such that when the louver is in the open position, air flow passes through the aperture.

A strut is provided for reinforcing a vehicle body of a vehicle, in particular an engine compartment, wherein the strut has a first fastening portion and a second fastening portion for fastening the strut to the vehicle body. Further fastening portions are, situated between the first and second fastening portion, for further fastening the strut to points on the vehicle. The strut has a profile with at least two vertices between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion.

A vehicle front section air intake structure of a vehicle, equipped with a radiator support, comprises a radiator grille; a hood inner panel; a radiator support cover disposed between an upper end portion of the radiator support and the hood inner panel; and an air intake duct that guides air toward an engine. The radiator support cover includes a cover ventilation section that causes an air current from the radiator grille to flow between the radiator support cover and the hood inner panel, and an air guidance port that guides the air current toward the vehicle rear side. The cover ventilation section is provided with plural upper side bars and plural lower side bars, both extending along a vehicle front-rear direction. The upper side bars are disposed alternating with slits in the vehicle width direction and the lower side bars are disposed at a vehicle lower side of the slits.
