  • Patent number: 10494033
    Abstract: An optically and aerodynamically improved body for a motor vehicle has a wheel well cover with at least one wheel well for receiving a wheel. The wheel well cover is designed in such a way as to be adjustable by an adjusting mechanism in accordance with the wheel angle, and includes at least two ring portions which surround part of the wheel and which are arranged in such a way as to be movable at least partially into each other and at least partially relative to one another.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 3, 2019
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Daniel Haeseker, Victor Kuehn, Nico Daun, Seungmo Lim
  • Patent number: 10494010
    Abstract: A steering device of a two-track vehicle has a retaining element and a steering handle for the driver that is rotatably mounted therein, and has a guide device for the retaining element, along which the retaining element can be moved between an extended use position, toward the driver in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a retracted rest position, further away from the driver. The guide device extends in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10287116
    Abstract: A method is provided for loading a motor vehicle using an optimized loading strategy. The optimized loading strategy is determined with the help of a computer. The method includes the following acts: acquiring characteristics of a plurality of objects to be transported, using a recording device, for example a camera and/or a scanner and/or using a reader device such as an RFID receiver; using the acquired characteristic to determine the dimensions, particularly a height, width and depth of each of the objects; establishing the optimized loading strategy for the motor vehicle as a function of the dimensions of the objects that have been determined and depending on the type of motor vehicle being loaded; and visualizing the loading strategy.

  • Patent number: 8978516
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hybrid drive, comprising an internal combustion engine, an electric machine and a torque superposition device, by means of which a torque supplied by the internal combustion engine can be superposed on a torque supplied by the electric machine, wherein the torque superposition device has a first and a second torque input and a torque output. The electric machine is coupled to the first torque input via a first transmission device, and the internal combustion engine is coupled to the second torque input via a second transmission device.
