Patent

CA 2489856

The present invention provides a front engine/rear drive vehicle, such as a medium-sized bus, having a power transfer device and a sloped lower load floor (102). The power transfer means enables advantageous packaging of a drive shaft (18) for driving a rear-positioned drive. The sloped lower load floor (102) provides a continuously flat load floor without requiring a step over a differential (32) area. Further the sloped lower load floor (102) enables lower ground clearance at a front portion for implementation of a manageable wheelchair access ramp, as opposed to an expensive elevator system. Additionally, the sloped lower load floor (102) provides sufficient rear ground clearance for managing inclines and is kneelable enabling easier load/unload access to the rear of the vehicle.

La présente invention porte sur un véhicule à moteur à traction avant/traction arrière tel qu'un bus de taille moyenne qui possède un dispositif de transfert d'énergie et un plancher surbaissé incliné (102). Le dispositif de transfert d'énergie permet une architecture intéressante de l'arbre de transmission (18) dans le cas de véhicule à pont arrière. Le plancher surbaissé incliné (102) forme un plancher totalement plat ne nécessitant pas de structure relevée pour franchir la zone du différentiel (32). En outre, le plancher surbaissé incliné (102) favorise la formation d'un angle de franchissement du châssis inférieur au niveau d'une partie avant de manière à installer une rampe d'accès pratique pour fauteuil roulant plutôt qu'un système élévateur cher. De plus, le plancher surbaissé incliné (102) assure un angle de franchissement du châssis arrière suffisant pour manoeuvrer le plan incliné, et peut s'abaisser, ce qui permet un accès de chargement/déchargement plus facile à l'arrière du véhicule.
