In a vehicle a bodywork portion, e.g. a driver's cabin, is movably mounted on a supporting vehicle chassis. The bodywork portion carries a lighting unit which, when the bodywork portion is in its normal position, moves together with the chassis, independent of movements performed by the bodywork portion relative to the chassis. When the bodywork portion is tilted around a transverse axis to a raised position the lighting unit is also tilted, together with the bodywork portion. The result is that the lighting unit can be given a high location and yet, when in use, moves only together with the chassis. In the bodywork portion no extra room is needed to allow tilting of the bodywork portion.
