Abstract: An attachment arrangement is provided for attaching together a first and a second structure of a vehicle having a longitudinal extension and a transversal extension together forming a horizontal plane. The arrangement includes a first attachment member adapted to be attached to the first structure and a second attachment member adapted to be attached to the second structure. At least one of the first and second attachment members includes a first attachment panel. The first attachment member further includes a first and a second connection portion. A vehicle including such an arrangement and a method of attaching a first and a second vehicle structure utilizing such an attachment arrangement are also provided.

Abstract: A cab for a tractor vehicle is provided with side spoilers that form extensions of the side walls of the cab in a backward direction and that can pivot between a backward-directed position and a sideways-directed position in order to give access to the chassis space behind the cab. A step arrangement is mounted on the inside of one side spoiler in such a way that it can be moved between a raised position, in which it is concealed behind the side spoiler, when this is in its backward-directed position, and a lowered position, in which it has a part with steps located below the lower edge of the side spoiler.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for moving an underrun protection device for vehicles having a frame (3), an impact element (7) arranged on the vehicle at a location corresponding to an expected loading from a force during a possible collision, and at least one displaceable carrier element (6) connecting the frame (3) and the impact element (7). During displacement of the impact element (7) between at least one first, active position and at least one second, inactive position, at least a part of the displacement occurs in a direction that substantially coincides with a longitudinal axis of the carrier (6).

Abstract: A device for mounting on a vehicle is shiftable between at least a first active position, in which it constitutes an underrun protection, and a second active position, in which it constitutes a vehicle support. Hereby, the functions of an underrun protection and vehicle support may be provided in a combined device.

Abstract: A system is provided for controlling the load split between the axles and thereby the theoretical wheelbase of a vehicle having two front axles being suspended in suspension units at least some of which have springs with adjustable stiffness. A method for controlling the load split between the axles and to a motor vehicle including such a system and/or by use of such a method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicle side underrun protection having at least one load-bearing member that extends between the wheels or sets of wheels of the vehicle in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The member(s) extend basically along the outer contour of the vehicle and serves as side impact protection and/or protection to prevent unprotected road-users ending up under the vehicle. The side underrun protection (1) has at least one longitudinal section (12, 13, 14) suspended in at least two first brackets (2, 3) fixed to the vehicle, along which brackets (2, 3) at least one end of each individual section (12, 13, 14) of the side underrun protection (1) is vertically adjustable from at least a first, active position to a second, inactive position. The invention also relates to a vehicle provided with such a side underrun protection.

Abstract: A system for attaching a superstructure to a goods vehicle, provided with a chassis frame having longitudinal main beams (4, 5). Each of these is provided with a beam part (12) extending in a vertical direction with side surfaces (21). The system includes attaching devices (17, 18) associated with the chassis frame, arranged on each main beam, and also attaching devices (30) belonging to the superstructure (11). The attaching device of the chassis frame consists of a longitudinal attachment section (17, 18) attached to each main beam (4, 5) by fixing elements, the attachment sections having a longitudinal vertical fixing part (19) by which the attachment section is permanently attached to one side surface (21) of the respective main beam.

Abstract: A draw coupling arrangement (1) for a vehicle including a coupling jaw (2) and a coupler (4) which can be lifted by a lifting device (5). The coupler is intended for coupling together with a towing eye on a towed vehicle, and where the coupling means (4) consists of a coupling bolt with two towing sections (6a, 6b), where the towing sections (6a, 6b) have different diameters.

Abstract: An axle load control system and method for a load-carrying truck having a front axle and two or more rear axles is provided. The system includes a wheel suspension system with a suspension control processor, a load sensor arranged at each of the axles for detecting one or more load indication parameters, the load sensor providing the parameters to the suspension control processor which translates the parameters into actual axle load values for the individual axles. The control processor is arranged to compare the actual axle load values with a predefined maximum allowable axle load value for each axle, and to control—or indicate to a driver the need to control—the wheel suspension system so as to effect an individual adjustment of the suspension characteristics for each axle in such a way that excess axle load on an overloaded axle is transferred to one or more of the remaining axles, thereby adjusting the theoretical wheelbase of the truck.

Abstract: An elongate construction element (1; 19, 20) including a first elongate profile (2) with a first section (2?) located in a first plane and a second section (2?) located in a second plane different from the first plane, a second elongate profile (3) with a first section (3?) located in a first plane and a second section (3?) located in a second plane different from the first plane, and at least one third profile (4; 4?, 4?, 4??, 14). The respective first sections (2?, 3?) of the first and the second profile are located in essentially the same plane, and the third profile (4; 4?, 4?, 4??, 14) constitutes a web which is fixed to and interconnects the first sections along at least a part of the extent of the construction element. The invention also relates to a frame for a vehicle, which frame comprises at least a pair of such construction elements.
