PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly lead a travel wind during a vehicle travel streaming backward along a cab side face part toward backward, and thereby to reduce air resistance.SOLUTION: On a cab side face part 12 forming an outer face outside a vehicle width direction of a cab 2, upper and lower current plates 20 and 21 are provided. Each current plate 20 and 21 has a tabular shape protruding from the cab side face part 12 toward outside the vehicle width direction and crossing the vertical direction. The upper and lower current plates 20 and 21 are vertically separated over a substantially whole range from a forward end of the cab side face part 12 to a rear end and extending in a longitudinal direction. A vertical distance between the upper and lower current plates 20 and 21 gradually increases as approaching backward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両走行中にキャブ側面部に沿って後方へ流れる走行風をキャブの後方に円滑に案内して空気抵抗を低減する。【解決手段】キャブ２の車幅方向外側の外面を形成するキャブ側面部１２には、上下の整流板２０，２１が設けられる。各整流板２０，２１は、キャブ側面部１２から車幅方向外側に突出して上下方向と交叉する板状であり、上下の整流板２０，２１は、キャブ側面部１２の前端から後端までの前後方向の略全範囲に亘って上下に離間して前後方向に延びる。上下の整流板２０，２１の間の上下方向の距離は、後方に向かって徐々に増大する。【選択図】図１
