Chassis fairing for a highway truck

A cross member for a frame of a vehicle. The cross member provides a particularly high stiffness of the frame and has a particularly low weight. A first support arrangement () having 4, 5, 6 or more support legs connects a cross member () to a first frame rail () of the frame (), and a second support arrangement () having 4, 5, 6 or more further support legs (-) connect the cross member () to a second frame rail () of the frame (). At least two of the four support legs of the respective first and second support arrangement are bent upwards from the base portion, the other support legs () being bent downwards.

A power distribution system comprises at least one fuel cell that is selectively operated in response to conditions to provide power to electrical loads and/or to charge an electrical storage device such as a vehicle battery. One form of an alternator can be selectively engaged or disengaged to provide power to the electrical loads and/or to charge the electrical storage device. Either or both of the fuel cell and alternator can be operated to provide electrical power.

Adjustable aerodynamic devices are controlled to control the drag on a vehicle. In one form, control is accomplished in response to pressure from a plurality of pressure sensors. In another form, control is accomplished in response to air movement measurements, such as of wind speed and direction at a location that a vehicle has yet to reach. In another form, the position and location of air vortices between a cab and trailer can be determined and adjusted to adjust the drag by controlling aerodynamic devices.

A seat system for the interior of a motor vehicle, such as a driver's cab of a truck, has a vehicle seat that is movable from a home position, set on a seat support on the vehicle, into at least one further position. The vehicle seat is separable from the seat support and has a roller element device by which the vehicle seat can be moved into a position separated from the seat support. The seat support can include at least one coupling element for a connection line, with the coupling element being connectable to a coupling element on the vehicle seat.

An exemplary interlocking bumper for mounting to frame rails of a vehicle is illustrated with a respective first bumper mounting receptacle coupled to each frame rail, such as by a frame rail mounting bracket. The interlocking bumper can further include a center bumper reinforcement that includes projections that are insertable into the first bumper mounting receptacles. Each projection of the center bumper reinforcement can define a second bumper mounting receptacle. Furthermore, the interlocking bumper can include first and second end cap bumper reinforcements each including a projection that is insertable into one of the second bumper mounting receptacles.
