Abstract: A vehicle includes two frame beams, such as c-channels, and a module structure attached to the frame beams to define a vehicle frame. An independent front suspension is attached to the module structure. A radiator, an engine and an energy absorbing front bumper are attached to mounting brackets of the module structure. When the module structure is attached to the frame beams, the engine is located under seats in the cab and behind the independent front suspension. A hood of the vehicle can be inclined relative to the ground, improving the aerodynamic shape of the cab and driver visibility.
