A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a prime mover coupled to the chassis and positioned at least one of beneath or behind the cab, and an accessory drive. The accessory drive includes an accessory and connecting shaft. The accessory is positioned forward of a front of the cab such that the accessory is spaced from the prime mover. The connecting shaft extends from the prime mover, past the front of the cab, and to the accessory. The connecting shaft is positioned to facilitate driving the accessory with the prime mover.

Vehicle cooling systems and methods

A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, an engine coupled to the chassis and positioned at least one of beneath or behind the cab, a cooling system coupled to the chassis, and a connecting shaft. The cooling system includes a fan positioned forward of a front of the cab such that the fan is spaced from the engine. The connecting shaft extends from the engine, past the front of the cab, and to the fan. The connecting shaft is positioned to facilitate driving the fan with the engine.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a front cabin coupled to the chassis, an engine coupled to the chassis and positioned at least one of beneath and behind the front cabin, and a cooling pack coupled to the chassis and positioned forward of the front cabin defining an airgap between the cooling pack and the engine. The cooling pack includes a radiator positioned at a front end of the chassis, a fan system including a fan positioned behind and proximate the radiator, and a conduit system fluidly coupling the radiator to the engine to facilitate providing a coolant between the radiator and the engine. The fan is configured to draw air through the radiator to cool the coolant within the radiator.
