A vehicle is provided herein, wherein the vehicle comprises a chassis and a cab mounted to the chassis. A trailer is pivotally connected to the chassis. A camera is arranged on a supporting arm mounted on the cab for providing a captured image of an area located rearward of the cab. A lighting assembly is mounted on the cab and includes at least one light source. The light source is configured to project a picture rearward of the cab forming a mark that is detectable by the camera, and that is representative of an angle between a trailer longitudinal axis and a chassis longitudinal axis. Further, a wind deflecting assembly comprising at least two side deflector panels and the lighting assembly is mounted on the side deflector panels.

Vehicle comprising a trailer angle determining system

The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a chassis which has a longitudinal axis and which is supported by wheels; a cab mounted on the chassis, the cab including two side walls; a wind deflecting assembly comprising at least two side deflector panels, each side deflector panel having a front edge linked to a rear portion of the corresponding cab side wall and a rear edge, and extending vertically over at least part of the height of the corresponding cab side wall rear portion; and at least one lighting assembly which is mounted on a side deflector panel and which includes at least a working lamp configured to illuminate an area located rearward of the cab.

Vehicle comprising a wind deflecting assembly and a lighting assembly

The invention relates to a side mirror assembly () for a ground vehicle, the side mirror assembly () comprising two mirrors () distributed parallel to a main axis (Z) of the side mirror assembly (), and both configured to be secured to the ground vehicle. The side mirror assembly () comprises a spacer actuator () for moving the two mirrors () relative to each other, between a primary position, wherein the mirrors () are at a first distance from each other along the main axis (Z), and a secondary position, wherein the mirrors () are at a second distance (Zd) from each other along the main axis (Z), the second distance (Zd) being greater than the first distance. At least when the mirrors () are in the secondary position, at least one empty see-through opening () is provided along the main axis (Z), between the mirrors (), so that a user may see beyond the side mirror assembly () through said at least one see-through opening ().

The invention relates to an industrial vehicle cab () defining a driver compartment and having a front wall and two side walls, said walls including rigid body components (). The cab () comprises a side door () for entering the driver compartment, a step () arranged on a side wall for allowing the driver to climb up to/get down from the driver compartment, and a lighting system () for illuminating the step (). The lighting system () is fastened on at least one body component (). The lighting system () is located forward of the step () and along at least a portion of the step () in the vertical direction, and it is arranged to provide a light beam () towards at least part () of the step () and towards an area () of the ground at the bottom of the step ().
