Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle seating arrangement having a number of seats. The seats are arranged so that they can be moved between different mutual positions along at least two parallel rails that extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in the vehicle floor. Each of the seats have a backrest part and a seat part, and are slidably attached to the rails by means of coupling members. The seats can be locked by way of the coupling members in a number of positions along the rails. The seat part of the seats is pivotably mounted in relation to the backrest part in such a way that it can assume a first, folded-down position and a second position wherein it is folded up against the backrest part. At least one rail extends essentially in the transverse direction of the vehicle. This transverse rail connects the rails extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to each other in such a way that the seats can be moved, via the transverse rail, from engagement with one longitudinally extending rail to another.
