Utility vehicle
The utility vehicle includes a body; a frame that supports the body; an on-board device that is mounted on the frame and requires outside air; and an air intake conduit that is connected to the on-board device. An air intake port of the air intake conduit that sucks in outside air faces a center side of the utility vehicle.

ENGINE INTAKE STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLES
An engine intake structure comprises an intake passage member 18 which defines an intake passage 36 for supplying air to an internal combustion engine 12, and which also defines a resonator chamber 40 in communication with the intake passage 36; and an in-vehicle device 14 located in an engine room 10 of a vehicle and having a preset reference temperature for temperature control, the intake passage member 18 being located above and adjacent to the in-vehicle device 14. The intake passage 36 extends above the in-vehicle device 14 so as to at least partially overlap the resonator chamber 40 as viewed in a vertical direction, thereby forming a two-layer structure, which makes the in-vehicle device 14 less affected by ambient temperature in the upper part of the engine room 10.
OFF-ROAD VEHICLE
An off-road vehicle, including: an engine body having a cylinder and a crankshaft that extends in a horizontal direction; and a transmission disposed adjacent to the engine body in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the crankshaft in a horizontal direction, in which the cylinder has a center axis inclining to an opposite side to a direction in which the transmission is disposed in a horizontal direction or extending horizontally to the opposite side.

Heat exchanger supply plenum
A cooling system for a gas turbine engine may comprise a plenum extending circumferentially around an outer engine case structure. The plenum may comprise a supply conduit and a return conduit. The supply conduit and the return conduit may be in fluid communication with a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be disposed between the outer engine case structure and an inner engine case structure. The plenum may be configured to provide enhance heat transfer for the cooling system.
REAR-MOUNT TURBOCHARGER INTAKE SYSTEM
An apparatus and methods are provided for a turbocharger intake system for an off-road vehicle. The turbocharger intake system comprises a turbocharger disposed at a rear of an engine of the vehicle, such that heat radiated from the turbocharger is directed rearward of the engine during operation of the vehicle. The turbocharger is coupled with an exhaust manifold for conducting exhaust gases from the engine to the turbocharger. An air intake duct is routed from an intake air filter canister to the turbocharger for conveying filtered air to the turbocharger. A suitable air filter is housed within the intake air filter canister so as to remove airborne particulate matter from the air entering the engine. The turbocharger drives charged intake air through an intercooler for lowering the temperature of charged intake air. The charged intake air is directed to combustion chambers of the engine by way of an intake manifold.
INTAKE NOISE REDUCTION STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE
A bracket 10 has a U-shaped cross section in which a pair of facing plate portions 15 extend from both side edges of a bottom plate portion 12 so as to face each other, and is fixed to a vehicle body side for mounting a predetermined component. The bottom plate portion 12 and the pair of facing plate portions 15 partition a bracket inner space 16, and the bottom plate portion 12 is provided with a through hole 20 which makes the bracket inner space 16 communicate with an outside. A resonator 23 is fixed to the bracket 10 in a state where the resonator 23 is accommodated in the bracket inner space 16. A ventilation passage 29 makes the resonator 23 communicate with the intake duct 21 through the through hole 20.
Air induction system with water detection
A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and an air induction system configured to provide intake air to the internal combustion engine. The air induction system includes an intake port, an air box coupled to the intake port and having a wet side air box and a dry side air box, at least one sensor disposed within the air box and configured to detect a presence or level of liquid within the air box, and a watertight door disposed within the air box and configured to move between an open position that allows air to pass through the air box dry side, and a closed position that facilitates preventing liquid from passing into the air box dry side.
