Abstract
A vehicle with a compartment, a ventilation channel on the ceiling or in a side wall of the compartment running in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the vehicle and a lighting facility with lighting elements is such that the ventilation channel features a reflector box with a channel base, featuring openings that are at least in part transparent to light or light-admitting openings, fitted facing the interior of the passenger compartment, and the lighting elements of the lighting facility are situated inside the ventilation channel. As a result of lighting facility being integrated in the ventilation channel, the amount of space required is less and the ventilation channel with integral lighting can be in the form of a pre-assembled unit.
