The present invention resides in a bulkhead assembly 8 for a passenger vehicle, wherein the bulkhead assembly comprises a powered linkage assembly (42, figure 4) for reconfiguring the bulkhead assembly between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration (figure 1). The bulkhead assembly is configurable to separate a passenger compartment 2 and a luggage compartment 4 of the passenger vehicle, but it may be partially or fully folded when more luggage space is required. The assembly may comprise upper (38) and lower (40) support structures, where the two support structures are pivotally connected. The linkage assembly may comprise an engagement member (74, figure 7) with first and second radius portions (76, 78, figure 6) and an elongate portion (79) which forms a crank. The powered linkage assembly may comprise a driveshaft (56) powered by a user activated electric motor. The bulkhead assembly may provide support for a vehicle seat, where both the bulkhead and seat are split into major and minor folding sections. |
