Abstract
An off-road vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, an exhaust assembly, and a fan that sends outside air toward the exhaust assembly. A direction orthogonal to both of a first direction in which a crank shaft of the internal combustion engine extends and a second direction in which a cylinder of the internal combustion engine extends is defined as a third direction. The exhaust assembly is adjacent to the internal combustion engine in the third direction. The fan overlaps the internal combustion engine in the third direction.
