MOTOR VEHICLE WITH SPACE SAVING HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A motor vehicle includes a motor compartment, a passenger compartment and a firewall separating the motor compartment from the passenger compartment. The motor vehicle also includes a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. That heating, ventilation and air conditioning system includes an HVAC inlet subassembly and an HVAC air distribution subassembly in the passenger compartment and a transition duct in the motor compartment directing an airstream from the HVAC inlet subassembly to the HVAC air distribution subassembly.
