The present disclosure concerns an airflow baffle system and sealing system which effectively seals an articulating hood, such as for a wheel loader, for more efficient routing of cooling air and exhaust air. The articulating hood may have multiple hinges connecting the hood to the motor vehicle. For example, a rear hinge or set of hinges may allow upward and rearward rotation of the entire hood, while a second set of hinges atop the hood may allow for upward and forward rotation of only a portion of the hood when quicker access to only a portion of the engine compartment is required.

An exhaust system is disclosed. The exhaust system may have an emissions control system including a mount and at least one exhaust treatment device secured to the mount. The exhaust system may also have a mounting assembly including a platform and a base frame. The emissions control system may be secured to the platform. The mounting assembly may be configured to position the emissions control system substantially adjacent to a power source. The platform may be movable relative to the base frame between a first position and a second position.
