Abstract: A vehicle brake system comprises an input device (21) attached to a bulkhead (15) separating a power unit room and a passenger compartment of the vehicle from each other, and including a part extending into the power unit room. A free end of the part of the input device extending into the power unit room is fitted with a protective member (70) defining a slanted surface (70a) opposing the power unit and slanting rearward as one moves in a prescribed lateral direction so that the input device is protected from a frontal impact. In particular, the slanted surface aligns with a corner part (83a) of the power unit (83).

Abstract: In an electric motor for a vehicle, a fan integrally rotatable with a rotor is located on one end in a direction of the axis of the rotor, a bracket for accommodating the fan is joined on one end in the direction of the axis of a stator frame for accommodating a stator, and the bracket is provided with an outside air inlet and a dust emission outlet. The bracket is provided with an expanded section which has an inner peripheral surface bulging on an outer peripheral side in a radial direction beyond a peripheral surface of the stator frame, and at least a part of the dust emission outlet opens to the inner peripheral surface of the expanded section.
