  • Motor vehicle with an underbody trim
    Patent number: 9227677
    Abstract: An underbody trim for the rear-end region of a motor vehicle conceals a rear exhaust muffler. For the purposes of cooling the rear exhaust muffler, an air inlet is provided in the underbody trim. The air inlet is arranged in a region in which, while the motor vehicle is traveling, a pressure is higher at the underside of the underbody trim than the region of the floor panel arranged thereabove. Cooling ambient air is thus conducted into the region of the rear exhaust muffler with low flow losses.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2016

  • Motor vehicle having a windshield and chassis pillars
    Patent number: 8454083
    Abstract: In a motor vehicle, a gap-shaped opening is provided between lateral end sections of the windshield and adjacent A-pillars. The air flows through this gap-shaped opening when the motor vehicle is moving. This reduces the formation of high loss vortices in the lateral area of the motor vehicle.
