In my last article, I explained the various types of
Motor Vehicle designs at the most rudimentary level. Despite the fact that so many
designs exist especially in this 21st, their body components are not too
different from each other. These components shall be discussed more extensively
in subsequent paragraphs.

| Components of an Automobile Body |
The
Interior
This refers to the inner portion of the car where the
driver and passengers normally sit. It consists of the driver’s seat, passenger’s
seats, steering wheel, gear lever, clutch pedal, brake pedal, the dashboard,
glove compartment, handbrake lever, seat belt etc.
Bonnet
The bonnet is a metal covering placed over the engine
compartment of an automobile to cover the engine and other related components
in front of the vehicle.
Boot
The boot is a separate compartment more often than not found
at the rear of a motor car for putting luggage. It is also known as trunk.
Wing
This is the curved part that projects out of the side of
the motor car above the wheel to serve as a mudguard.
Windscreen
This is a transparent shield in front of the drivers’
compartment to enable the driver to see the road clearly. It also provides
protection against wind, rain, and dust. It can be made of glass or plastic.
Windscreen
Wiper
This is an electrically operated device fitted to the
windscreen with a rubber blade to wipe the windscreen clear of rain.
Door
The door provides entrance into the car, it also serve
as exit.
Roof
The roof is the curved metal sheet covering the top
portion of an automobile. The roof prevents wind, bad weather and rain from
getting into the interior of the vehicle.
Bumper
This is a metal component fitted at both the front and
rear of an automobile to reduce the effect of impact.
I never knew there is a vehicle component called roof. I love this blog!
