A work vehicle is disclosed that includes a front guard that is provided at a front end portion of a traveling vehicle body and protects the traveling vehicle body, and an auxiliary device that can be attached to and removed from the front guard. The front guard is provided with an attachment portion to which the auxiliary device can be attached and from which the auxiliary device can be removed.

Work vehicle

A multi-purpose vehicle is disclosed that includes a mode change switch for operating a travel mode of a vehicle body and a mode control device for switching the travel mode of the vehicle body in response to an operation of the mode change switch. The mode control device switches the travel mode of the vehicle body between a two-wheel engine driving mode in which only an engine is driven, a two-wheel motor driving mode in which only a motor is driven, a four-wheel hybrid driving mode in which both of the engine and the motor are driven, and an OFF-mode in which none of the engine and the motor is driven.

Multi-purpose vehicle

A work vehicle includes an assist motor that is located opposite an engine with respect to a continuously variable transmission device. The assist motor has an output shaft that extends coaxially with a drive shaft of the continuously variable transmission device and is interlocked with the drive shaft. A motor support platform that supports the assist motor protrudes more outward than the continuously variable transmission device does in a lateral direction relative to a vehicle body. The motor support platform includes a slide movement mechanism, and the slide movement mechanism is configured to change the position at which the assist motor is attached, relative to the continuously variable transmission device, axially of the drive shaft, between a connected position and a disconnected position of the drive shaft and the output shaft.

Provided is a work vehicle in which a seat support frame that supports a driver seat is equipped on a vehicle body frame, the vehicle body frame includes: a front portion vehicle frame at which a floor surface of a driving portion is provided; and a rear portion vehicle frame disposed at a position higher than the floor surface of the driving portion and rearward of the front portion vehicle frame. An engine is equipped below the rear portion vehicle frame, a battery that supplies power to an electric motor is equipped above the front portion vehicle frame and below the seat support frame, and a frame portion of the seat support frame that exists above the battery at a position opposing the battery is configured to be detachable from another frame portion that is fixed to the vehicle body frame.

A utility vehicle includes: a travel unit having a left-right pair of front travel apparatuses and a left-right pair of rear travel apparatuses; an engine capable of driving first travel apparatuses being one of the pair of front travel apparatuses and the pair of rear travel apparatuses; a motor capable of driving second travel apparatuses being the other of the pair of front travel apparatuses and the pair of rear travel apparatuses; and a control apparatus capable of switching between an engine two-wheel drive mode in which only the engine is driven, a motor two-wheel drive mode in which only the motor is driven, and a hybrid four-wheel drive mode in which the engine and the motor are both driven.
