In a preferred embodiment, at least one exterior panel (9) is mounted to cover the cooling elements (7) of the cooling member (6), and it is preferred that this exterior panel (9) is a sun visor (10) or dirt deflector (11). Hereby, there is achieved significant additional cooling without altering the overall appearance and design of the truck and thus also keeping within the size requirements of the vehicle.
