OFF-HIGHWAY RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
A vehicle configuration wherein the center of mass of the vehicle is approximately superimposed upon the passenger and driver centers of mass when seated within the vehicle. An occupant's center of mass can be approximated using a standard center of mass position approximation, or a combination of any number of standard center of mass position approximations. The vehicle's center of mass can be approximately superimposed upon the occupant's center of mass in at least the longitudinal and vertical directions.

INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE SUN PROTECTOR
An industrial vehicle sun protector for the protection of an operator located in the cabin of an industrial vehicle, comprising: a mounting arrangement configured to be installed in the cabin of an industrial vehicle, and a rigid shade member for obstructing the passage of sun rays therethrough, the shade member being pivotably connected to the mounting arrangement such that the shade member is pivotable between a stored position and different selectable deployed positions, wherein adjustment from one of the deployed positions to another one of the deployed positions allows for protecting the operator from sun rays at different positions of the sun, wherein a pivoting of the shade member from the stored position to any one of the different selectable deployed positions results in an angular displacement of the shade member greater than 90?.
OFF-HIGHWAY RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
A recreational off-highway vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis that is approximately 50 inches wide. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll cage. Grab handles are positioned on the sides of the passenger seat. Select large round tubing protects the vehicle, while rectangular tubing frames the portions of the vehicle beneath body panels. The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that is connected to a transaxle. The engine and transaxle are isolation mounted together with a portion of the air intake assembly. The vehicle is suited for rough terrain travel.

A cover with an access panel is situated between the engine and the passenger seats. The vehicle is suited for rough terrain travel.
Removable vehicle panel system
A removable panel system for easily and efficiently varying the configuration of a cabin on a vehicle. The removable panel system generally includes a vehicle having a cab defined by a frame. Different panels may be selectively and removably connected to the frame to form various different cab configurations to suit the different needs of different jobs or operators. A roof panel may be removably connected to the frame to form a roof of the cab. A rear window extension may extend from the roof panel to form the rear window of the cab. A door receiver panel and/or door panel may be removably connected to the frame to form one or more doors of the cab. A windshield panel may be removably connected to the frame to form a windshield for the cab. All panels are adapted to be easily and efficiently interchanged without undue effort from the operator.
Utility vehicle with cargo bed
A utility vehicle includes a chassis; and a cargo bed disposed behind a riding space. The cargo bed is located above the chassis and has a bottom wall portion on which a cargo is placed. The bottom wall portion extends so as to be inclined downward toward a rear side.
Riding Work Vehicle
It is contemplated to arrange a plurality of operational levers without inviting complications of the arrangements or enlargement of the vehicle body, intensively for better operability between the driver's seat and one of the right and left rear fenders. In a riding work vehicle, a plurality of operational levers 25, 26 are disposed adjacent on the right and left sides between a driver's seat and one of right and left rear fenders 7. Of the plurality of operational levers 25, 26, an inner operational lever 25 disposed on the side of the driver' seat is displaceable in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body. Of the plurality of operational levers 25, 26, an outer operational lever 26 disposed on the side of the rear fender has an entire grip portion 26A thereof disposed more upwardly of the vehicle body than a grip portion 25A of the inner operational lever 25, the outer operational lever being displaceable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body between a first operational position on more vehicle body front side than an operational range of the inner operational lever 25 and a second operational position on more vehicle body rear side than the operational range of the inner operational lever 25, the outer operational lever being position-retainable at the first operational position and the second operational position, respectively.
VEHICLE ELECTRIC MOTOR HYDRAULIC PUMP DECOUPLING
A vehicle may operate in a first mode in which rear traction members of the vehicle are driven forwardly by an electric motor and a hydraulic pump is powered and may alternatively operate in a second mode in which the rear traction members are driven forwardly by the electric motor while the electric motor is operably decoupled from the hydraulic pump. A controller determines a state of an implement attached to the vehicle, a present or forthcoming turning state of the vehicle, a geo-referenced location of the vehicle, a slip of the vehicle, and/or a camera captured image of terrain. The controller outputs a recommendation for either the first mode or the second mode based upon the determination or automatically switches between the first mode and the second mode based on the determination.
