A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, an electric energy system, and a door system. The body assembly defines a refuse compartment. The body assembly has a cover that at least partially encloses the refuse compartment such that an opening is defined in the body assembly to provide access to the refuse compartment. The door system is coupled to the cover. The door system includes a panel and an electric actuator powered by the electric energy system. The electric actuator is configured to selectively reposition the panel between a first position where the panel extends across the opening and a second position where the panel does not extend across the opening.

A storage system for a removable soft top assembly of a vehicle includes a main storage container having a top lid coupleable to a bottom lid, where the main storage container is sized and shaped to receive and store an articulating frame and main cover of the soft top assembly; a first supplemental storage container having a top lid coupleable to a bottom lid, the first supplemental storage container sized and shaped to receive and store windows of the soft stop assembly; and a second supplemental storage container having a top lid coupleable to a bottom lid, where the second supplemental storage container is sized and shaped to receive and store door rails of the soft top assembly. The second supplemental storage container is selectively coupleable to the first supplemental storage, and the first and second supplemental storage containers are selectively coupleable to the main storage container.

A vehicle comprising: an occupant cabin; a retractable roof configured to move between a deployed configuration where the roof covers the occupant cabin and a retracted configuration; a housing configured to house the retractable roof when the roof is in the retracted configuration; and a moveable cover configured to close the housing, the moveable cover comprising: a cover body; and two fins each extending from the cover body, the fins being located on either side of a longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, and the fins each comprising a channel running through the fin from a first side of the fin facing away from the longitudinal centreline to a second side of the fin facing towards the longitudinal centreline.

A bodywork for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a scooter, has a roof element and a storage compartment. The roof element has at least two roof struts and a cover for the storage compartment. The roof element is mounted so as to pivot around an axis of pivot between at least two positions. In a first, lower position of the roof element, the roof struts are arranged in a stored position, the storage compartment has a reduced volume and is closed by the cover. In a second, upper position, the roof struts are arranged above a driver's seat and the storage compartment has an enlarged volume.

An earth working machine (10), for example a road milling machine (10), recycler, stabilizer, or surface miner, having a propelling unit (22) and a machine frame (12); the earth working machine (10) comprising a working apparatus (32) for earth working; and an operator's platform (24), having an operator's platform floor (64) and having at least one operating device (26), being provided on the machine frame (12); the earth working machine (10) comprising a protective canopy (44) liftable and lowerable relative to the operator's platform floor (64) between a lifted operating position and a lowered transport position; the earth working machine (10) comprising a panel arrangement (46) having an upper edge (46a) located closer to the protective canopy (44), having a lower edge (46b) located farther from the protective canopy (44) at a distance from the upper edge (46a), and having two side edges (46c, 46d) spanning the distance between the upper And the lower edge (46a, 46b); the panel arrangement (46) being connected in an upper connecting region (58), located closer to its upper edge (46a) than to its lower edge (46b), to the protective canopy (44) and being connected in a lower connecting region (60), located closer to its lower edge (46b) than to its upper edge (46a), to the machine frame (12) and/or to the operator's platform floor (64) constituting a connecting base. Provision is made according to the present invention that the panel arrangement (46) is liftable and lowerable together with the protective canopy (44), the panel arrangement (46) being received on the earth working machine (10) with its lower edge (46b) movably toward and away from the operator's platform floor (64).

A latch described herein comprises a ratchet movable between a primary closed position, a secondary closed position and an open position. The ratchet is biased towards the open position for facilitating travel of a striker in a fishmouth of the latch to the secondary closed position. The latch includes a pawl movable between a primary locking position, a secondary locking position and an unlocking position. The pawl is biased towards the primary locking position and has a pawl locking surface for holding the ratchet in the primary closed position and the secondary closed position. The latch includes a lift lever biased towards the open position for moving the striker in the fishmouth away from the secondary closed position and towards the open position when the pawl is in the unlocking position. The striker is further from the primary position when in the open position compared to the secondary closed position.

A vehicle comprising: an occupant cabin; a retractable roof configured to move between a deployed configuration where the roof covers the occupant cabin and a retracted configuration; a housing configured to house the retractable roof when the roof is in the retracted configuration; and a moveable cover configured to close the housing, the moveable cover comprising: a cover body; and two fins each extending from the cover body, the fins being located on either side of a longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, and the fins each comprising a channel running through the fin from a first side of the fin facing away from the longitudinal centreline to a second side of the fin facing towards the longitudinal centreline.
