Motor vehicle provided with a protective tarpaulin system

A motor vehicle (V) defining a longitudinal direction (L) that extends over the length of the vehicle between a rear bumper (R) and a front bumper (F), the vehicle including an outer body (E) that extends substantially from one bumper to the other starting from a sill (C), the vehicle also being provided with a protective tarpaulin system comprising a flexible tarpaulin (1) for covering the outer body (E) of the vehicle (V) at least in part so as to protect it, the system further comprising a winding drum (2), advantageously installed at the rear bumper (R) of the vehicle, the tarpaulin (1) being windable around the drum (2) between a wound-in storage position and a wound-out position, the tarpaulin (1) including a connection edge (11) that is secured to the drum (3), and an opposite edge (12) that is free;

• the motor vehicle being characterized in that:
• the free edge (11) of the flexible tarpaulin (1) includes at least one traction element (13) made of ferromagnetic material, and
• the vehicle (V) includes at least one movable magnet (4) that is movable under the outer body (E) along a traction path that extends in the longitudinal direction (L), the movable magnet (4) attracting the traction element (13) of the tarpaulin (1) through the outer body (E) and entraining the traction element (13) of the tarpaulin (1) along the traction path, so as to bring the tarpaulin (1) into the wound-out position of the tarpaulin by sliding over the outer body (E).
