Abstract

Cab-over-engine freight vehicle with a driver's cab which is untiltable relative to the chassis and is situated above the vehicle's engine which is supported by the chassis. On each side of the vehicle there is a panel which is provided with steps, delineates the engine compartment laterally and is mounted pivotably on the chassis by means of a panel control arrangement which makes it possible to impart a displacement movement to the panel so that it swings outwards and rearwards in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to an engine access position. Below the door of the driver's cab there is a cover which is hinged-mounted on the chassis and which in the closed position conceals the step panel situated inside it. The cab door and the cover below the door are detachably coupled with one another by a relative-motion absorbing control arrangement.
