ABSTRACT:
An air deflector (10) is attached to a roof of a cab (2). A rear edge portion (12) of the air deflector has a configuration identical with an upper part of a vertical front face (4) of a van body (3) or a configuration closely resembling the upper part thereof, as viewed from the front. A marker lamp (40) is located on a ridge portion (32) of the air deflector in proximity to the rear edge portion. An upper surface (41) and a side surface (43) of the marker lamp are formed to continue an upper face (31) and a side face (33) of the air deflector, and a ridge portion (42) of the marker lamp is in alignment with the ridge portion of the air deflector. The air deflector can ensure visibility of the marker lamps, while preventing the flow of air from impinging on the upper corner areas of the front face of the van body, whereby the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle is improved.
