20160046336 | Kit for Building a Vehicle - Current systems of distributing vehicles are inefficient, particularly in developing nations. To resolve this, we provide a kit for constructing a commercial vehicle supplied ex-works as a flat-pack package using the vehicle chassis as a pallet. Thus, the kit may include a chassis, an engine attachable to the chassis, located within and supported by the chassis, and a plurality of upright chassis members attachable to the chassis thereby to define at least a cabin, placed flat over the chassis. The elements making up the kit can be restrained in place, such as by wrapping or tying with suitable film, bands or cords. Body panels attachable to the chassis uprights can be supplied, placed flat over the chassis. Brake line, a wiring loom and major drivetrain items such as the engine, differential and propshaft may be pre-attached to the chassis in their final locations before shipping the kit. In this way, the complete kit can be prepared at a suitable factory and shipped as a “flat-pack” item. Very little packaging will be needed as the chassis itself can act as a pallet for the remaining items, providing the necessary rigid support to allow handling of the kit. The resulting item will have a footprint similar to that of the final vehicle, but a height which may be one third or one quarter. Together with suitable spacers, several such kits could be packed for transport in a single vehicle or container. | 02-18-2016 |
