Grille for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, as well as a vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to a grille 12 for a vehicle, in particular a truck, the grille 12 being configured to be arranged in front of at least one heat exchanger of the vehicle and comprising a plurality of grille bars 16 movable between a closed position in which at least a portion 20 of an air passage aperture 14 is covered by the grille bars 16, and at least one open position in which the portion 20 of the air passage aperture 14 is uncovered, wherein at least a portion of the respective grille bar 16 is airfoil-shaped. The grille bars 16 are connected to a shared actuator (28, figure 6) configured to move the grille bars 16 between the closed position and the open position. In the closed position, the grill bars can closely match a shape of an engine hood 10 adjacent to the grille to maximize aerodynamic benefit. The actuator (28) is arranged adjacent to the grille bars 16 in a receptacle (46) covered by at least one cover element, the cover element 24 sitting flush with the grille bars 16 in the closed position of the grille bars.
