Abstract

The vehicle which may consist of a member of a family differently configured vehicles generally consisting of a body including front and rear end sections each having a rear wheel and a configuration common to the front and rear end sections, respectively, of the vehicles of the family of vehicles and an intermediate section selected from a group of intermediate sections having different configurations interconnecting the front and rear end sections to form an integral units; sets of wheel units mounted on at least the front and rear end sections of the body; a power plant mounted on the body; drive means operatively interconnecting the power plant and at least one of the wheel units; and a steering system mounted on the body and operatively connected to at least one of the wheel units.
