A method for operating a fleet of vehicles is provided comprising receiving, from a first vehicle of the fleet of vehicles, first vehicle state information comprising a location of the first vehicle and receiving, from a second vehicle of the fleet of vehicles, second vehicle state information comprising a location of the second vehicle. The method further comprises generating a display comprising a first vehicle representation based on the location of the first vehicle, and a second vehicle representation based on the location of the second vehicle, and controlling the operation of the second vehicle within an area defined by an overlap of a second geofence based upon an energy estimate of the second vehicle with a first geofence based upon the first vehicle.

Method of operation for a fleet of vehicles

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground engaging members and a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes an operator area having a front seating section and a rear seating section.

Utility vehicle

A side by side vehicle is disclosed having a vehicle frame having frame tubes extending from a front to a rear. A vehicle seat frame is positioned in a mid portion of the frame, and positions a seat frame at a raised position relative to the frame tubes. A powertrain is positioned rearward of the vehicle seat frame and is coupled to the vehicle frame. Side by side seats are supported by the seat frame; and one or more storage units are positioned under the side by side seats. The side by side vehicle also has a rear suspension comprising at least one rear alignment arm coupled to each side of a rear of the vehicle frame, where the alignment arms are coupled to the vehicle frame at front and rear connection points. A distance between the front connection points is greater than a distance between the rear connection points, and at least a portion of the powertrain is positioned between the front connection points of the alignment arms.

Side-by-side all terrain vehicle

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

Side-by-side vehicle

A vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle may include a hydraulic system. The vehicle may include a sway bar. The sway bar may be positioned rearward of a hydraulic pump of the hydraulic system. A console having a first hydraulic input may be provided in an operator area of the vehicle.

Vehicle

A ROHVA compliant side restraint is disclosed which is movable between first and second positions wherein the first position the side restraint encompasses Point R, and in the second position the side restraint does not encompass Point R, increasing the accessibility for ingress and egress.

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame, a powertrain assembly, a front suspension assembly, and a rear suspension assembly. A cargo bed may be supported by the frame at the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes an operator seat and at least one passenger seat positioned within an operator area. In one embodiment, the vehicle includes doors to enclose the operator area.

A side by side vehicle is disclosed having a vehicle frame, a vehicle seat frame positioned in a mid portion of the frame, and a powertrain. Side by side seats are supported by the seat frame; and one or more storage units are positioned under the side by side seats. The side by side vehicle also has a rear suspension comprising at least one rear alignment arm coupled to each side of a rear of the vehicle frame, where the alignment arms are coupled to the vehicle frame at front and rear connection points. A distance between the front connection points is greater than a distance between the rear connection points, and at least a portion of the powertrain is positioned between the front connection points of the alignment arms.

A vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle may include an operator area including side-by-side seating. The vehicle may further include a prime mover and a transmission operatively coupled to at least one ground engaging member of the vehicle. The prime mover may be a diesel engine and the transmission may include a CVT. The prime mover and the transmission may be assembled together and supported by a frame of the vehicle through a plurality of mounts.
