Abstract
A vehicle is disclosed that includes: a passenger seating area; a seat that is repositionable (e.g., movable, slidable) within the passenger seating area; an electromechanical system that is located beneath the seat and which is configured to support movement and/or reconfiguration of the seat; and a storage compartment that defines a receptacle for at least one personal accessory. The storage compartment is configured to conceal the electromechanical system to reduce the visibility thereof and is unitary in construction. The storage compartment is removably connected to the seat such that the storage compartment is fixed in relation to the seat but movable concomitantly with the seat during repositioning of the seat within the passenger seating area.
