Cockpit for a motor vehicle and method for the reconfiguration of a cockpit

A motor vehicle (1) comprising:

• a passenger compartment (3);
• a plurality of driving members (10;
• 11, 12), which are housed inside said passenger compartment (3) and can be operated by a driver in order to control the trajectory and the speed of said motor vehicle (1);
• at least one control member (6, 7, 9, 21) connected to at least one driving member (10;
• 11,

A method for the configuration of a cockpit (25, 25′) for a motor vehicle (1);

• said cockpit (25, 25′) comprising:
• a frame (29, 29′), which can be fixed to said motor vehicle (1);
• a first and a second seat cushion (30, 31);
• and
• a first and a second backrest (40, 41);
• a first side (98, 108;
• 98′, 108′) and a second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′);
• said method comprising the step i) of arranging said cockpit (25, 25′) to a first configuration, wherein:
• said first seat cushion (30), said first backrest and said first side (98, 108;
• 99′, 108′) define a first seat (26) for one of a driver and a passenger;
• and
• said second seat cushion (31), said second backrest (41) and said second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′) define a second seat (27) for the other one of said driver and said passenger;
• said first and second seats (26, 27) being spaced apart from one another;
• said first side (98, 108;
• 99′;
• 108′) delimiting said first seat (26) on the side of said second seat (27) in said first configuration;
• said second side (98, 108;
• 99′;
• 108′) delimiting said second seat (27) on the side of said first seat (26) in said first configuration;
• said first side (98, 108;
• 99′;
• 108′) and said second side (99,109;
• 99′, 109′) each comprising a respective first edge (160, 160′), which is constrained to said cockpit (25, 25′), and a respective second edge (161, 161′), which is opposite the respective first edge (160) and is free;
• said first side (98, 108;
• 99′;
• 108′) and said second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′) converging towards one another in said first configuration of said cockpit (25, 25′), moving from the respective first edges (160, 160′) to the corresponding second edges (161, 161′);
• characterized in that it comprises the step ii) of shifting said cockpit (25, 25′) to a second configuration, wherein a third seat cushion (32), a third backrest (42) and said first side (98, 108;
• 98′, 108′) and second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′) define one single third seat (28) for a driver;
• said third seat cushion (32) being interposed between said first and second seat cushions (30, 31);
• said third backrest (42) being at least partly interposed between said first and second backrests (40, 41);
• said first side (98;
• 108;
• 99′;
• 108′) and said second side (99;
• 109;
• 99′, 109′) being interposed between said first seat (30) and said third seat (32) and between said third seat (32) and said second seat (31), respectively;
• said first side (98;
• 108;
• 99′;
• 108′) and said second side (99;
• 109;
• 99′, 109′) diverging from one another in said second configuration of said cockpit (25, 25′), moving from the respective first edges (160, 160′) to the corresponding second edges (161, 161′).

;

• said cockpit (25, 25′) being movable to a second configuration, wherein said third seat cushion (32), said third backrest (42) and said first side (98, 108;
• 99′, 108′) and second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′) define one single third seat (28) for a driver;
• said first side (98, 108;
• 99′, 108′) and said second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′) being interposed between said first seat (30) and said third seat (32) and between said third seat (32) and said second seat (31), respectively;
• said first side (98, 108;
• 99′, 108′) and said second side (99, 109;
• 99′, 109′) diverging from one another in said second configuration of said cockpit (25, 25′), moving from the respective first edges (160, 160′) to the corresponding second edges (161, 161′).
